Trying to find a middle name that's "proper" and appealing, to come after our slightly more quirky choice of first name. DH and I can't agree on any and baby is almost here. Thoughts on Natasha - is it nice, wearable and feminine, or a bit 80s? Can't tell any more

Oh, I'm sorry to sound a bitch. But just to give my impression, I don't think it's a 'cool' name, I imagine someone quite frumpy.

War and Peace. I think it's a lovely name.

Russian Christmas, or is that Natalie?

Russian

my friend's little girl who had terrible asthma but now plays rugby & at Uni.

I think of a beautiful Russian spy saying throatily (in a very Russian accent, of course) "my name is Na-tash-a" shows age. Exotic.

Black Widow from the Avengers but that's specific to people into that genre!

I don't associate it with any specific class, I think it's a nice name

Natasha Beddingfield.

Honestly if by 'proper' you middle class I'd have to disagree.

toffeeboffin · 13/02/2016 18:27

Not that keen really. Name of person I'm replacing at work. But that's personal, it's a nice name, I guess.

First thoughts ~ some one born at Christmas time.

War and peace!

Well, you asked for associations so "they call her Natasha but she looks like Elsie...I don't wanna go to Chelsea" (shows age)

Sorry not helpful.Grin.

I love the name Natasha.
It's very wearable imo.
