Comments and insights on the name Sasha

My boyfriend's name. It's so weird... I always think of a girl when I hear this name. It's too girly. Too much. That's why I call him Sash or Ash but never Sasha.

In Russian, Sasha is can be translated to Alex. . . Just saying to all those people who assume it's a girly name.

Sasha can be translated to Alexander, or Alex in Russian. I think it's a name with strong character and works far better as a male name than a female one. 'Sash' and 'Ash' are sweet nicknames and the name itself has a nice meaning too, 'helper and defender of mankind.' Despite it being a unisex name, I really feel it has a better ring on males, and not as a nickname for Alexander, or Alexandra.

Personal experiences with the name Sasha

Yeah, there is this one weird named dude who I know who is really nerdy and has a weird obsession with Gummy Bears; he's fun to hang around and he's pretty smart. To be fair, he is the gummy bear prince.
