Here's my thinking. First of all, both are good names. I can understand why the negative feedback with Sasha, but it seems to me that names are defined by the people bearing them, not the other way around. For example I have a very dull, boring name. So average that everyone stopped using it. But I've never minded or wanted to change my name. It's my name, and I'm me. I've had friends who had names that I previously didn't really like, but my view of the name always changes because of them. Name your kid what you want, and maybe they'll get teased in 3rd grade, but it won't matter in the long run. I can totally picture a very beautiful girl talking about her very gorgeous and strong boyfriend, Sasha.
I want to name my baby this?
