Re: Selma & Sasha (f)
Friends of mine shared a flat while we were students, and were at one time adopted by a handsome Russian Blue cat who would gobble their scanty leftovers and then wander off. They loved him dearly and he became known as Sasha "because he's Sacha nice cat"! Yeah, definitely feline.And, definitely not female. If Alexander, nn Sasha, Zverev continues to light up the tennis circuit, perhaps we'll see some more boy Sashas for a change, but I'm afraid that -a ending is just too powerful as a female marker. Pity.Totally with you on Selma! Though I do find that Thelma retains some vintage charm.
