I know that Sasha is traditionallya male name, a Russian nn for Alexander, but I've always associated it first and foremost with females, and more precisely with female cats! I can't even count how many times I've known or heard of people with she-cats named Sasha. About as many times as I've known or heard of male dogs named Bailey.
I confess that I myself named a female cat Sasha. She was a huge, mean, cat who ended up being eevicted and exiled toa chicken farm because she preferred to be a wild, working cat rather than a lap pet.

Those mns are all right, but they seem a little out of place with Sasha. I think Sasha needs a very Russian-sounding mn to really work. Sasha Constantine is the closest to that that you have.

I love Sasha Matthias (prefer Mattias) and Sasha Morgan. My only problem with Sasha Morgan is that people may think it's a girl's name (though my first reaction would be it's a boy's name).

Sasha Constantine, Sasha Matthais, and Sasha Percival all have a huge wow factor! They're all so great...I'm not sure if I can muster up anything better but I'll try.

Sasha...?

I don't have much to say other than a girl at my school is named Sasha. That's kind of funny considering it's supposed to be a guy nickname.

I like it a lot, but only as a nickname for Alexander / Aleksander / Aleksandr like it's supposed to be. It's too soft and childish otherwise. It's also legit as a nickname on a girl, for Alexandra.

Alexander Matthias "Sasha" is fantastic.
