Love Natasha, think it is well overdue a revival. Always remember Carrie getting upset in SATC over Mr Big marrying a very beautiful, sophisticated Natasha!

I like them both. Have a slight preference over Tasha to Tessa.

Both are nice but I prefer Natasha.

Definitely Natasha, although I might be a tad biased as that's my name...

TashasMum · 27/01/2016 13:14

I might be a bit biased too as I have a Natasha and love the name. The only thing I would say is are you aware that it means born at Christmas and would it bother you if you're not due to have a December baby?

Natasha by a long way!

Ooh both lovely... Maybe Tessa as a slight edge.

Natasha. I knew a jack Russell called tests!

Tessa not tests!

Natasha by all the country miles.

Tessa, but I see I am in the minority.

I also like Jessa though I know that is highly unusual - Only 5 baby
Jessas registered in England and Wales, in 2014 (last available statistics).

Tessa partly because I don't like the shortenings of Natasha- Tash/Tassie- and it probably would be shortened whereas Tessa wouldn't.

Also, I LOVE Tessa anyway!

Good Luck!
