I’ve been crushing on the name [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] lately. I think it sounds so handsome and a little fresh/unusual for a boy. I’m not crazy about [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], though. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it’s usable by itself or should it be used as a nickname?
Also, do you think you could use names like [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] or [name_u]Romy[/name_u] for sisters of [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] or would you use more girly names? It might be a stupid question and just be me, but if I heard of a girl and boy named [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], I would think that [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] would be the girl and [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] the boy. Is that even an issue?
I love [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] on a boy and it could totally work on it’s own! I quite like unisex names so it wouldn’t come across to me as weird if I heard a sibset [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] (g) and [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] (b). I actually prefer [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] on a girl! If you really love it, I say go for it!
I like [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] on its own and when I hear it I think boy all the way. If I heard a sibset [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], I’d assume they were a girl and a boy.
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u] is wonderful. I do think it works best as a nn for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]; the Russians have such adorable, warm nicknames!
As for [name_u]Frankie[/name_u], it seems to be nowadays that more children are name [name_f]Frances[/name_f]/[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] than [name_m]Frank[/name_m], so I think we’re more attuned to hearing [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] as a girl’s nickname.
I’ve been loving [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] on a boy lately too! I definitely think it can be a stand-a-lone name. However, I think it would still hold just as much freshness as a nickname for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. Either way, it’s great
As far as sister names, this is the one case where I deviate from my typical “if you use a unisex name, use a distinctly male or female name for the next child” attitude. [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] could work, although I would think that [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] would be a brother rather than a sister. However, if you were to name a girl something like [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], I’d be likely to think [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] would be a girl. It’s hard to explain…I guess an equally unisex name would be more fitting rather than something very frilly (which would make me think they were sisters) or something very male for a brother (which would make me think [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] would be the sister of the pair). [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u], etc., as sibling names would fit right in.
I hte it honestly because so many people where I live are named [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] and people name themselves [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] on YouTube for some reason so I’ve seen too much. It’s an overly used common name imo.
I adore [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] on a boy just like I adore [name_u]Shea[/name_u] on a boy. I know a boy named [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] and we call him [name_m]Sash[/name_m], pronounced like the beginning of [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] and not pronounced like the piece of fabric sash. I guess you could also use [name_u]Ash[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] too.
I think [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] is much more usable as a stand-alone name than [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] or [name_u]Romy[/name_u] for girls, they sound more like nicknames.
If you don’t like [name_f]Francesca[/name_f], you could use a first and middle name combo to get to nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]. For example: [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u], and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. Or just use [name_u]Frankie[/name_u], it’s spunky and fun!
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u] is very handsome (I prefer [name_u]Sascha[/name_u]). I always saw it as a boy’s name & a girl’s nn
I don’t like [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] & never saw the appeal. [name_u]Romy[/name_u] is OK; not bad but nothing special either. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]/Francia or [name_f]Romola[/name_f]/[name_f]Romina[/name_f] are better
