I love them both....

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 26/01/2016 22:50

Love Natasha - so many variations -

Natasha
Tasha
Tash
Nat
Natty

Unfortunately it is the name of dh's ex or I would have used it......

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 26/01/2016 22:52

Both lovely.

FrancisdeSales · 26/01/2016 22:55

Natasha by a country mile.

Natasha

Kingfisherfree · 26/01/2016 23:12

I'm not sure. What about Natalie?

Sophronia · 26/01/2016 23:43

Tessa

ledgeoffseason · 27/01/2016 09:17

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!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 27/01/2016 09:20

Natasha by FAR.

CaoNiMao · 27/01/2016 10:35

Natasha! Gorgeous name.

TheCatsMeow · 27/01/2016 10:36

Natasha is lovely

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 27/01/2016 10:37

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

Sofiria · 27/01/2016 12:03

Both are nice but I prefer Natasha.

Absolutelyfabulously · 27/01/2016 12:22

Tessa

Natsku · 27/01/2016 12:23

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?

Allalonenow · 27/01/2016 13:24

Natasha by a long way!

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 27/01/2016 13:28

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

Twowrongsdontmakearight · 27/01/2016 13:28

Natasha. I knew a jack Russell called tests!

Twowrongsdontmakearight · 27/01/2016 13:29

Tessa not tests!

GoldPlatedBacon · 27/01/2016 14:49

Natasha

Alisvolatpropiis · 27/01/2016 14:57

Natasha by all the country miles.

HerdOfRhino · 27/01/2016 15:42

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).

cecilelliott · 27/01/2016 19:42

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!
