there is also an actor named Mandy patinkin that played Inigo Mantoya in the princess bride.

It was male before it was female

So I find it stupid and ignorant to laugh at Sacha/Sascha as a boy's name.

Sasha / Sacha is just as much a male name as a female name. It's a russian pet form for Alex names. In elementary school there were many students from Russia or near-by countries, and almost all the boys were called Sasha. None of the females were called Sasha. My guess is that Aleksandr is a much more common name then Aleksandra in Russia and if that's true then there would be many more male Sasha's in Russian that female Sasha's. As for France I have no clue if there are more male or female Sacha's.

As for opinions on the name Sacha Lynn that should be taken to the opinion's board.

Boy named Mandy

For what it's worth ... my husband's distant cousin was named Mandeville for dynastic reasons, but was always known as Mandy. As soon as he was legally able to do so, he changed his name to Carl, but the family always called him Mandy anyway.

This belongs on the opinions board, please repost there

If you wanted to find out about ambiguous / unisex names then you could ask here, but "outrageously girlish" is an opinion. Please take it to the opinions board.
