HelpRe: Sasha for a boy?
in reply to a message by Kelly R.
I like Sasha on a boy. I don't really like Sh's in the middle of names, but Sasha is a beautiful name. I wouldn't use it as a nickname for Alexander, because that just doesn't make sense to me. Even though it does sound feminine, it sounds feminine in a good way, imo. On a girl, i think it sounds weak, but on a boy i think it doesn't sound weak because it does sound weak. That makes no sense, but im terrible at phrasing things.

I was friends with a guy in high school named Alexander nn Sasha, and although I didn't understand it at the time, I am rather fond of in now, as is he (he hated it back then). My advice would be to use Alexander as a fn and Sasha as the nn, because as a child he probably will not care for it, but as he gets older and his peers get older he will grow to appreciate the historical nature of both the fn and the nn. (hopefully)
