Slightly unusual but good? Or underused for a reason?

Gorgeous! What's not to like?

AdoraBell · 23/08/2013 00:21

I love it.

DumSpiroSpero · 23/08/2013 00:26

Lovely - I know a little 4yo Natasha who is very sweet & smiley Smile.

MummyBeerest · 23/08/2013 00:35

Very pretty. Nat or Tasha are good nns.

Lioninthesun · 23/08/2013 00:42

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

NadiaWadia · 23/08/2013 04:29

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.)

PeriodMath · 23/08/2013 04:34

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

Eastpoint · 23/08/2013 04:41

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.

Sanjifair · 23/08/2013 06:29

Like it, with Tash or Tasha as the nickname

Dolallytats · 23/08/2013 06:54

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

Frontdoorstep · 23/08/2013 10:09

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

SPBisResisting · 23/08/2013 10:10

Love it! The one I know gets cslled nash

Rhubarbgarden · 23/08/2013 10:14

Nice name

efffy · 23/08/2013 11:58

I wanted to be called this when i was little Grin

MrsDibble · 23/08/2013 11:59

love it

Alisvolatpropiis · 23/08/2013 13:16

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.

pretty name

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.

Chl0e · 23/08/2013 16:14

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

looki · 23/08/2013 19:00

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.

PrettyFlyForAWifi · 23/08/2013 22:22

Good!! Natasha it is :)
