Also, here's the US Census data on female first names:

No, it's not. In Slavic countries, Sasha is a diminutive of both Alexander and Alexandra (and variants). A girl named Sasha could only get a few weird looks if she made it obvious that it's supposed to be her first name (instead of a proper version) and not a nickname and/or if she was from a country where the name is not supposed to be in use.

OP The best thing you can do for her is pick a name that is nice on the ear but completely innocuous. You don't want to burden her with some esoteric nonsense that she has to explain to new acquaintances for the rest of her life.

My cousin is I think a sophomore in high school, or a junior, not that it matters. What really matters here is a certain classmate of hers.

The classmate is named 'La-a.' Except you actually fucking pronounce that little hyphen, so the name is really pronounced 'Ladasha.'

Also all the girls I've known who went by "Sam" were pretty hot; that might have helped.
