It is ok, I much prefer it as a male nickname.

It's pretty... and I've never thought of it being "short for" anthing. Unless there's a celeb association, I don't imagine it suddenly getting popular, but I'm not in other people's heads, so I can't say for sure... Never saw Ethan and Liam coming and they're WAY overused now (and still no more attractive to me than before they were overdone... actually less attractive to me than before and they didn't really draw me in the first name... Difference this time is I actually LIKE Sasha).

I like this name. But I am biased because this was my brothers cat's name. :)

I love Sasha as a standalone name for a girl.

But I also love it as a NN to either Alexander or Alexandra. I can never decide which I like more.

I know a girl named Sasha

For me it's unisex, both good on girls and boys. I like it, but prefer it for a girl. There's also a semi famous guy here who is called Sasha and I believe there was also a German male singer who was Sasha. I don't know any male Sasha's personally.

I know a lot of Sashas, and I do think it works as a full name for a girl even though it's not legit. (I also know a boy Alexander-nn-Sasha and I find that really wonderful and adorable, but that's irrelevant.) I don't think Sasha's going to get more popular soon, but it'll probably stay steady (in the 300s).

I like Sasha, it's sweet. I also really like Sancha, which is similar.

If fine with on a girl, but I'm very obsessive about the idea of nicknames needing a full name. I like it as a nn for Alexandra, but I find it a bit tacky as a full name for some reason.
This said, it's not anywhere as bad as the likes of Timmy or Ricky as full names, and would be ok on an adult.

It's completely masculine IMO

I find it very handsome and manly, not the least bit feminine. I only know one person by this name, a guy but he spells it Sacha. I think it definitely will rise in popularity, mainly because it's considered a unisex name now and those are trendy right now.

I grew up in a fairly Eastern European community so the only Sashas I know are all male so it always looks weird to me as a girl's name. I guess it works as a stand alone name but I prefer it is a nn for the Alex names. I do think it will get more popular with it being Obama's daughter's name and thus getting more mainstream attention.

I can't stand Sasha on a girl, but I love it on a boy (though I prefer spelling it Sascha). I guess it will rise a bit in popularity due to Sasha Obama.
