He was absolutely beautiful, and had a gorgeous accent. I don’t know that I would name my child Sasha, but it certainly brings back lovely memories. I wonder what happened to my Sasha? Hmmm…I might just head over to Facebook to look for him.

I also quite like that one. I’ve come across 2 in real life & there is Mila Kunis & Mila Jovocovich (fingers crossed I spelled that correctly)

I’m a fan of Russian diminutives for girls in general. Besides Katya and Anya, I like Masha as a nickname for Maria and Dasha as a nickname for Daria. Although Masha kind of sounds like someone with a Boston accent saying Marsha/Marcia. (aka my Mom )

I have a weakness for ‘s’ names. It’s one of those names that I can see on either gender & I don’t have a problem with it being on either gender. Unlike a name like Aubrey or Kendall, which I ONLY mind on girls & not boys,even though they started on boys.
I do prefer Sasha for a girl, though. I doubt I’d ever use it, but I do love the name. It sounds feisty & full of life. The name just screams vitality to me. I like it as a nickname for names like Anastasia (though I prefer Stasia), Marishka etc for girls. I also like Saskia which is sort of similar. I actually lived next door to a Sasha who was a gorgeous, sweet girl. The only other connotations I have are : Sacha Baron Cohen, Naomi Watts’s son,some American figure skater & a Sasha in a Christine Feehan novel.Other than that, it’s just a name that has always been in namocabulary (name + vocabulary) that I have always liked. I don’t really know the other Sasha connotations that you listed
