What do you think of naming a son/daughter Alexander / Alexandra, but calling them Sasha from day one? I like hardly any nicknames, and this is the only scenario in which I'd actually plan the first name around the desired pet form. I do like Alexander and Alexandra in their own right too, it's just that Sasha is the form I like best (on both genders, I love it). I could just use Sasha as the formal name, of course, but (and this might sound silly), I wouldn't like to think that'd make me look ignorant to someone Russian. I dislike names like Nadia and Natasha for that reason. So, anyways, WDYT?
