Shura

Shira sounds totally unisex. It gives me the impression of a strong-willed, independent person. It's attractive as a standalone name or a nickname in my opinion.

I like this as a pet name for "Sashenka", even though Sashenka is usually not a full name.

"A" is a feminine end of the names... It's an exclusively feminine name as much as Sasha!

I definitely know that I am in the minority here, but I love both Sasha and Shura for a boy rather than a girl.

I love this name. I think it's funny but sweet at the same time. I would have loved to be named Shura. Every Shura I know is nice.
