When I went to Russia I met heaps of female Sashas. I guess it's common for both genders. I'm German but I still don't get it :P SAHN - hmmmm Sandy, Sandra, Zandra...but I still don't get Sasha. But I guess that's fine, I also don't get Margaret - Peggy and several others. To me a nickname has to be clearly derived from the name as in Zippy for Zipporah or Alex for Alexandra but that's just me I guess :P

Yeah some nicknames don't make a lot of sense, especially if you don't speak the language. About Peggy though, if you look it says it's a medieval variant of "Meggie", so the name just morphed into Peggy overtime.
