    I prefer the spelling of SASCHA ... but so sorry i would have pronounced it like Sasha as i wouldn't have known there was a different way to say it other then your mentioning it

    I know two Sascha's both pronnounced Sa-sha so I would automtically say it that way. Therefore I vote the other way...or perhaps put an "r" in to make sure it's pronnounced the right way.

    Maybe spelling it Sarsha or Sarscha would help with the pronounciation?

    Hi poppys mum!

    i'm a Sacha... just to confuse things. no matter which way you spell it ppl always spell it wrong and all say it differently.

    Yep i agree put an "R" in there and then if ppl do pronounce it incorrectly they feel like the goof when they are corrected!

    Sasha, but it's a nickname for Alexander/Alexandra in Russia.

    Please don't put an R in it. It looks downmarket, and in some (non-Australian) accents it would be pronounced horribly- SaRRRsha.

    I've known both male and female Sachas (pronounced SASH-a), as well as a SUSH-a and a Russian SARSH-a. I agree with the other posts, the difference in spelling has no bearing on pronunciation. spell it however you like, then tell people how it's pronounced, but expect any non-Europeans to say SASH-a first!
