HelpRe: Sasha, Masha or Natasha? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Sasha: this seems relatively fashionable, and easy for people to say where I live. And I like it. I do not like it much for guys unless they are Russian, but I think it makes a good name for a woman or girl who isn't Russian.
Masha: I don't think this works well for English speakers. Too much of the word mash or mush in it. I like Maria.
Natasha: this seems dated to me and liable to lead to the nickname Tasha, which I don't really like. Natasha is alright though. I like it more than Natalia, barely.
I'd use Alexandra with Sasha as a nickname, but I think Sasha can stand on its own as a full name, about as well as something like Sandra can.
