Growing up, I hated that my mother named me Sascha. No one could pronounce it, everyone spelled it wrong (Sasha) and it frustrated the hell out of me. As an adult though, I appreciate and love my name. It’s unique here in the US, and I get complimented for the beauty of the spelling and pronunciation. Still, most people still mispronounce it, and misspell it. I gave up correcting people constantly many years ago. The people who know me best and matter to me the most know my name and that’s all that matters.

I love this name for a boy. It's so unique. I think of this as the masculine form since females already have Sasha.

I don't understand how people view this as a masculine name. Sasha and Sascha will always be feminine-sounding names to me.

It doesn't mean noble in battle in Russian, and would not be used as a full name in Russia. It is short for Aleksandr or Aleksandra which means "defender of men". However, in other European countries, Sasha is used as a full name, often transcribed from "Саша" to the phonetics of that country i.e. Sasha in English, Sascha in German and Sacha in French.
