[quote=Anonymous]It is also legit in other Slavic countries. Also, unisex, I know boys and girls with nickname Sasha and Alexander or Alexandra(of course we put ks). Usually girl version might be Sashka, but Sasha it fine too. It is also used in Germany for as a male name. However, in Quebec, France and Belgium Sacha, not the spelling is almost exclusively male name.
From Wiki:
This name is especially common in Europe, where it is used by both females and males as a diminutive of Alexandra and Alexander, respectively. Despite its popularity in informal usage, the name is rarely recorded on birth certificates in countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine, as it is considered a diminutive, not a formal name. Exceptions are Croatia, Germany, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia and Switzerland.

In French-speaking regions (Belgium, France,[1] and Quebec[2]), Sacha is almost exclusively given to males.[3] In the United States the name is almost exclusively used for girls and ranked number 569 among U.S. baby names in 2014, although it didn't gain popularity until the 1970s.[4][/quote]
