Acacia to Sasha

[morganlind]

The name Kaisha used to be on my list, and I recently changed it to Acacia. That way we could still call her Kaisha, as well as Cay, Caci, etc. I also love the name Sasha. I am wondering if this could be a nn for Acacia? I read somewhere that someone had done the same thing. Is it too much of a stretch? It wouldn't be her permanent nickname, just an occasional one. Thanks for the feedback.

to me it seems like a bit of a stretch, so I probably wouldn't use it, but in the end it's your daughter so it's your choice! good luck

I think it's too much of stretch Acacia has none of the same sounds as Sasha, it would be like giving her a whole different name. Why don't you just name her Sasha? Also nicknames tend to become permanent especially if that's what they end up preferring. I never met a Katie/Katy that went by Kathryn. The nickname sticks. We named our cat Mittens with no intention of a nn and then one day my fiance' called her Mittzy and it snowballed from there. Now I only ever call her Mittens like once a month and usually when she's being naughty.... like you would a kid.... lol

Also I don't know why you want so many nicknames? It's like your trying to give her multiple personalities or something. I think you need to pick one and stick with it. Her friends might pick another later, she doesn't need 3 from you and then 1 from her friends.... that's A LOT. Then again it's not my kid, but I know if I had 4 names, I would be frustrated, especially if one doesn't match up like Sasha.

Kaisha would be my pick.
