Hello! I’m having a baby girl in a few months and we’re deciding on an English name. The Hebrew name is decided and will be after my grandmother, Sadie/Sheva (Ashkenazi tradition). We want a S name for her English name and we are thinking about Sasha. However, I looked up the meaning and it’s traditionally a Russian nickname for Alexander/Alexandra. My husband’s name is coincidentally Alexander. Is it too strange/goyishe to name our little girl an English name that essentially means little Alexander? We’re trying to name after my grandmother and this is one of the few S names we like.
Thank you!
Michelle
