I only like Misha as a nn for Michaela, I think. It's sort of like calling an Alexandra "Alex", that way.

I suppose Misha could be a nn for Mikhaila, but afaik it's not used like that in Russia. Therefore, I only like Misha for a boy.

I can't really see Misha on a boy because I've never heard it used for a boy. I've only ever known one girl called Misha but she spelled it Mica and I think its a cute name and I prefer the spelling Misha.

As a Russian major, I can only think of Misha as a boy's nn (for Mikhail.)

It's cute, but boyish...

My ! are Alia, Eidel, Enola, Israel, Dudel, Yuri, Lina, Lorelei, Leilani, Owen, Julian, Glorinda, Mirinda
My ? are Hillel, Meshullam, Johnny, Ginny, Cordelia, Fiammetta, Yocheved
My ~ are Tehila, Tilda, Hailey, Gillian, Huldah
My / are Aglaia and July

I've only heard the name (with this spelling) on a boy, but I do find it very feminine (like Mischa, which I guess I would prefer for a girl). But, I don't care for the name, as I find it too cutesy sounding.

I think it sounds like someone's a Mischa Barton fangirl--and since I don't like her, that makes it pretty cringe-worthy to me.

---

Mischa and Misha both are great nicknames for Michael. Masha's a nice Russian nickname with the same sort of sound--but it's actually a girl's name.

It's only cute as a nn for Michael on a boy to me.

This is a favorite quote of mine

It's okay, but I personally like it better on a boy.

I think it's really sweet. I also like the similar Sasha.

---

Having read the BtN data on Misha, I still don't see it on a boy *at all*, and I'm usually pretty liberal that way (Ashley, Sasha and even Skye make my boys' favourites list). So yeh, definitely for a girl :-)

I think it's kind of cute on a girl but I see it too much as a boys name (nn for Mikhail) to ever use it

I've always liked it better on a boy, but that's because the first boy I ever had a crush on was called Misha. So I'm a little bias. If that even counts as a bias...
