[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!

[name_f][/name_f]

I’m really smitten with the idea of [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] as a nn, but don’t feel connected enough to [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] to use it to get to Sasha… can you think of anything that would work as a full name for him? [name_f][/name_f] I’ve been toying around with [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] or [name_m]Samson[/name_m] nn [name_f]Sasha[/name_f], but not sure if either one is too much of a stretch. [name_f][/name_f] If not either one of those or [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], what would you use?

[name_f][/name_f]

Thanks, berries!

I’m guessing you’re not into any of the other [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] names like [name_m]Alexandre[/name_m], [name_m]Alessandro[/name_m], [name_m]Xander[/name_m], etc.?

[name_f][/name_f]

I don’t think [name_m]Samson[/name_m] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] are too much of a stretch at all!

[name_f][/name_f]

To me [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] works for any name starting with a Sa- sound: [name_m]Sullivan[/name_m], [name_m]Sander[/name_m], [name_m]Sabin[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], Salvatore… Whatever! But some that more readily lend to [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] could be [name_m]Sacheverell[/name_m], [name_m]Samsa[/name_m], [name_m]Sampsa[/name_m], [name_m]Sampson[/name_m], [name_m]Samwise[/name_m], and [name_m]Sansonnet[/name_m].

Oh I could totally see [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ‘Sasha’ working!

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ‘Sasha’ is a stretch but still works, especially if [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] has a middle name with the ‘sh’ sound. Technically [name_m]Samson[/name_m] ‘Sasha’ should work for the same reasons, but I can’t see it as easily.

[name_f][/name_f]

Is [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] (Alexander variant) also out?

[name_f][/name_f]

Other names that could be shortened to [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] are [name_m]Asher[/name_m] / [name_m]Ashton[/name_m] (too close to your name?), [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_m]Herschel[/name_m], [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m], [name_m]Asa[/name_m] and Anastasio… Maybe [name_m]Rosario[/name_m] and [name_m]Cecil[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

A name that ends in ‘s’ with any of the above as a middle name also works (Lewis [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] Ashton…)

[name_f][/name_f]

I’d consider / suggest:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Seamus[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]?
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Abishai[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Azarius[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f] / Asarius / [name_m]Azariah[/name_m] / Asariah
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Shadrach[/name_m]

I feel like [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] is a lot like [name_m]Kit[/name_m], that if the full name has the right sounds, the nickname could work in an [name_f]English[/name_f] speaking context. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] definitely works imo and is a personal favourite, as does [name_m]Samson[/name_m].

You have had so many splendid suggestions, so I am afraid I cannot add much, but I was just[name_f][/name_f] thinking about the name [name_m]Iskandar[/name_m][name_f][/name_f], the Arabic, Indonesian and Malay form of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], and thought it was worth mentioning! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:[name_f][/name_f] I believe this is the full first name of the actor who plays [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] in one version of the [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] movies, which was so cool to child me and definitely helped start me on the road to being a namenerd, haha. :joy:[name_f][/name_f] Have a lovely day!! :blush:[name_f][/name_f] :sun:[name_f][/name_f] :rainbow:[name_f][/name_f] :yellow_heart:
