I thought of this name today as I have only met 2 before, both would be in their teens-late 20s today.
I think the nicknames Tash, Tasha would be quite sweet.
What do you think of it?

It's lovely.

It's Russian, and I think in Russia it's often used as a nickname for girls with the name Natalia, rather than a name in its own right. I'm happy to be corrected on that if I'm wrong Smile.

I think both Natasha & Natalia are beautiful names (but a little bit frilly for my own taste!)

I really like the name Natasha. To me it is a classic (I believe it's the name of the heroine in War and Peace, though I've not read that), but I have read comments on baby naming forums like this intimating it's a bit 80s. That said, it was good enough for Michelle Obama - a stylish lady - and it's on my shortlist too.

I think it's lovely too!

I love it as a name. It's a classic.
