Re: Sasha?
in reply to a message by Aileen
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.
