Sasha
I really like Sasha for a girl at the moment. What do you think of Sasha? Is it popular where you live? Do you think it has the potential to become a popular name?The only problem I have with Sasha is that it often seems to be thought of as a stripper/porn star name, similarly to Lola or Natasha. Do you think Sasha it trashy?Sasha, Sascha or Sacha?

I like Sasha for a girl (not on a boy though)
I don't think of it as a trashy name at all, I like it alot. Anyway I don't think the Obama's would of thought it tacky either!

I think Sasha is a little trashy as a given name. It's probably because of the Bratz dolls. The Sasha I know is kinda trashy. I've only met one Sasha so far, so it's not that popular.I don't think Lola and Natasha are trashy.

I think it's good. Not trashy like Lola. Tackier when used as a boy name (not a nickname) by non-Russians IMO. I don't think it's likely to become any more frequent than, say, Natalie (which is at #14 but still getting used only half as much as Amber was at its #14 peak)... and Sasha seems unlikely to get even that popular, because it just does not sound like the kind of name that US top ten namers would use. It's more suited to popularity than Saskia though. It could become slightly trendy like Autumn, I guess.

I have never met a human being named Sasha, but I have met or heard of several cats named Sasha. In fact we once had a cat named Sasha. She was beautiful but mean. I think it's a pretty name, but very much a pet's name.

I don't think it's trashy, but I don't think Natasha is trashy either. (Lola I can understand why some people have that association.) But anyway, I prefer Sasha as a nickname for Alexander, for a boy. I don't think it's bad on a girl, though.Sacha I see as more masculine. The other two spellings could go either way.

I recently met an adorable toddler with the name Sasha, and just the way she said her name made me love it and her. However I don't think it works on an adult, it is way too cutsey IMO.
It's not popular round here (Midlands, England), I would think Sasha is female, Sacha is male and Sascha I have no idea. :)

I don't think Sasha is trashy, but I also don't think Natasha or Lola are so maybe I don't have the best opinion *shrugs*I like Sasha. It's not popular hereI like Sasha best

I don't really have much of an opinion on Sasha. Part of me likes the sound, and part of me thinks it sounds a bit tacky. I think it has the potential to sound nice with the right personality, but it also has the potential to be an incredibly annoying name with the wrong personality, you know? It's a name that I feel can easily carry strong associations, whether good or bad.Personally, I can't see it becoming popular. As far as it being a stripper/porn name...I don't really get that vibe. I don't think Lola or Natasha sound trashy either though lol. I don't have a preferred spelling, they're all the same to me.
