This name has really been growing on me lately. I'm beginning to really like it. I don't know any Sashas (I live in the US too), so I don't think there's any popularity issues in the US. Also, this is one of the few nickname names that I don't mind as a given name on its own (though I also like it as a nn for Alexandra).

.Catherine Ann Genevieve.

I like Sasha only as a nickname. As a nickname, it's fine for either gender. Alexander and Alexandra are high on my favorites list, too, so Sasha works for me!

---

I know a girl named Sasha, and it aggravates me that this is her given name...grrr... Other than that, all the Sashas that I know of are using it as a nickname. (And the vast majority of them are boys.)

---

DH :-)

I like it but it's a boy's name to me.

I love the name Sasha, but I actually prefer it on a boy as a nn for Alexander. Here in the US, though, most people will be more used to Sasha on a girl. :o)

---

Not from the US but...

---

I knew a Sasha (girl) and i love her name also my husband knew a Sacha (boy) i love it for both sexes but prefer the different spellings for boys and girls.

I love Sasha as nn for Alexandra. So much better than Alex, Allie or Lexi.

I love Sasha for both a boy or girl.

Sasha is very pretty : )

I love this name and I have for ages. I would consider using this name in the future myself. It's pretty, it's not common and it's easy to read and spell.

I know the most awful, whorish girl with this name so I suppose it's ruined for me.

---

That aside, I don't feel like it can stand on it's own. Maybe as a nickname for Alexandra or Alexandria?

Sasha is perfectly fine for a girl in the U.S. I think that it works for any nationality as well. I have known a Hispanic Sasha and an Indian Sasha, and the name fit both of the girls. You definitely don't have to be of Russian or Eastern European descent to use this name.

I think its an ok name, I knew a Sasha at school that wasn't very nice but like I said, the name is ok. ;)

I think in the US Sasha is more accepted as a girls' name, even though traditionaly it's more of a masculine name,a short Russian nn for Alexander. So you're covered in that department.

---

That being said, also in the US it seems Sasha is a popular name for female cats. God only knows why this is, but it's true. A couple years ago we had a cat we called Sasha, a huge tiger-striped female. She was a mean machine, half wild.

It works for both genders, but I prefer it on a girl.

Sasha Amelie
Sasha Christabel
Sasha Lilian
Sasha Celeste (maybe a bit much...)
Sasha Cecile
Sasha Nanette

I think it's cute, and great for a girl.

Lovin' Lily Rose, Rose Maria, Alexandria Summer, and Evangeline Rose for girls. For guys: Derrick James, Scott Evan, Alan Shane, and Adam Shane

I like it a lot, for a girl or a boy. It used to be one of my favorites, but I forgot about it after a while... thanks for reminding me, haha. I think it would be nice.
