Brought into the American consciousness as the nickname of ballet great Mikhail Baryshnikov, it more recently took on a unisex air via TV and screen actress MischaBarton. Could become the next Sasha.

Misha was a boys' name with a soft feminine sound and vowel ending until actress MischaBarton turned it to the girls' side. Now Misha, like Sasha, works as well in either spelling for girls and boys. Misha might be a way to update Michelle or Micaela.
