[name]Hi[/name] my name [name]Lee[/name] and I am 24 years old, My sister gave birth to twin girls yesterday. We were expecting twins and were going to name them [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Mikhail[/name]. But since their girls now I thought we could choose a feminine diminutive for them and searched nameberry and loved the names [name]Sasha[/name] and [name]Mischa[/name].
First I don’t know whether we should spell it [name]Mischa[/name] or [name]Misha[/name], are they pronounced the same way?
Second do they sound good together as sister names?
Third What do you think of the names?
How about Sasha and Chloe? We choose Sasha and Misha/Mischa because they have the same origin and sound similar.
[name]Both[/name] [name]Sasha[/name] and [name]Mischa[/name] are unisex, but I see them more associated with boys in my area. I think they’re really cute together, and if they’re both used on girls then it gives them a more feminine feel.
I pronounce [name]Mischa[/name] and [name]Misha[/name] the same, but I prefer it with the “c”. It looks more complete to me this way.
I really love both names, but I generally prefer them on boys. This could work though!
I don’t like it. [name]Sasha[/name] and [name]Mischa[/name] are male nicknames in Russian, and are far too similar for twins.
I’d rather just using female variants of [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Mikhail[/name]: [name]Alexandra[/name]/[name]Alessandra[/name]/[name]Alexa[/name] and [name]Mikayla[/name]/[name]Michaela[/name]/[name]Michelle[/name]
I would think they were Russian men. What about [name]Alexandra[/name] and [name]Michaela[/name] with [name]Sasha[/name] and [name]Misha[/name] as nicknames?
I love the names [name]Sasha[/name] and [name]Mischa[/name] for twin girls. I prefer the spelling [name]Mischa[/name] versus [name]Misha[/name]. It seems more feminine.
My name is [name]Mischa[/name].
My mom was pretty sure I was going to be a boy the whole time she was pregnant, so she started calling me [name]Michael[/name]. She had her heart set on [name]Michael[/name]. So when I ended up being a girl… [name]Mischa[/name] was what was decided upon as a name.
[name]Mischa[/name] and [name]Sasha[/name] are used in many languages. English, Russian, Slavic. “[name]Misha[/name]” is also a Hebrew name (traditionally a male name). But [name]Mischa[/name] is a variation of [name]Misha[/name], so it’s still considered to be Hebrew. I believe it’s biblical - [name]Misha[/name]’[name]El[/name] was a biblical figure.
My family background is Slavic and Jewish. Which is why they chose “[name]Michael[/name]” when they were expecting me to be a boy. [name]Michael[/name] is a Hebrew name.
I love my name. I love the name [name]Mischa[/name].
I agree. [name]Both[/name] names are very Russian & [name]Mischa[/name] is so traditionally male.
[name]Sasha[/name] is totally unisex to me & here in [name]America[/name] I usually figure a [name]Sasha[/name] is female.
I love the idea of [name]Alexandra[/name] nn [name]Sasha[/name] & [name]Michaela[/name], [name]Michele[/name], [name]Mikhaila[/name], ect nn [name]Misha[/name].
Another option is [name]Masha[/name]…though [name]Sasha[/name] & [name]Masha[/name] is a bit much!
