Help[Opinions] Re: Mischa, Sasha, Aleksei...
in reply to a message by LMS
Aleksei is a male Russian name. I don't get this fear of "too feminine", it is an old Russian name. Besides, he could always use Alek or Alex as nn.
But Sasha and Mischa are nn, I would name a boy Alexander and Michael or Michail and use Sasha or Mischa as nn.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."

Well, I love Aleksei on a boy, but I have been told it is too feminine by some because the popularity of the female name Alexie (Or any of its many variants).
