Slightly unusual but good? Or underused for a reason?

My mum was going to call me this but dad vetoed, no idea why! I like it and have considered it myself!

It's lovely. Wouldn't have thought it that unusual, though? Maybe it was more popular about 20 years ago (but don't let that put you off, I don't really go for the current fad of 'granny' names myself.)

Love it. Don't like Nat at all though.

Great name. One every 3-5 years at school so recognisable & easy to spell but not over popular. I've only ever met kind Natasha's.

I like Natalie too.

Like it, with Tash or Tasha as the nickname

Love it, it's my daughters name. She gets called Tashie, Tasha or Tash (except by my mum, who NEVER shortens names!!)

I like it very much, I have a Natalie, so similar, I don't abbreviate to Nat or anything else for that matter.

I don't like it. Mostly owing to knowing an utterly vile one as a teenager. Put me off totally.


If I repeatedly think "Natasha Richardson" who always seemed to be lovely, I think it's a nice name but she's not my first point of reference.

I like it. I see it like Jillian, Gemma, Melanie, it's passed its peak in popularity. I know two who are about 27-33 but that is a good thing. It is still a pretty name that works.

I think it could rise in popularity if there is a good remake of dr zhivago. but only a bit!

It's a name I have always disliked, along with Natalie. No particular reason why. For me it's in the same vein as Patricia or Eithne.
