[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sascha/Sasha [/quote]
Actively a boys' name in Russian.[/quote]

Isn't Sasha a nickname for both Alexander and Alexandra in Russian, the way Alex is in English?[/quote]
In Europe, Sasha is a man's name. It is probably turning into a girls' name in the same way that other traditionally boy names have, such as Courtney, Ashley, Dana, and Beverley.[/quote]

Russian poster here. In Russia, Sasha can be a man’s or a woman’s nickname. Note I specifically said nickname and not a full name - Sasha is never a full name for either sex in Russia. Similarly with Anya or Nadia (Nadya) which were mentioned a few times - in Russia those would never be full names, only nicknames for Anna or Nadezhda. Russians in general have much stricter naming conventions than in the US, far fewer names from other cultures etc. [/quote]

That a why the OP should not use Leila or Rosa unless the family is Asian or Jewish [/quote]
