Rose or Natasha?

I'm finding girls names really hard. Dh and I both like Rose and Natasha, but not Rosie, and not really Tash either...
Nat would be awkward in our family.
I think the middle name will be Kathryn or Margaret.
Any opinions?
Thanks

Natasha. Tashie?

LarkDescending · 22/02/2018 22:50

I love both (unhelpful!). We have a Natasha in the family, usually known as Tasha.

Not sure whether you are looking for other suggestions, but maybe Sasha, Saskia, Rosanna?

Both lovely. I like Rose Margaret.

BertrandRussell · 23/02/2018 07:46

Rose. I LOVE Rose.

Teenagedream · 23/02/2018 07:47

I've got a Natasha Rose. She is 20 now and likes to be called Tasha.

VanessaShanessaJenkins · 23/02/2018 07:47

I love Natasha

userabcname · 23/02/2018 07:56

Natasha! I am very biased though....

greendale17 · 23/02/2018 07:57

Natasha.

I really don’t get the obsession on MN with the name Rose- reminds me of someones elderly Aunt or Gran.

Twooter · 23/02/2018 07:57

Love Rosie, don’t like Rose, so not best placed to answer.

MrsSteveMcDonald · 23/02/2018 08:00

Natasha every time. Rose is a granny name

Sarahh2014 · 23/02/2018 08:04

It's awkward because Natasha and Rose would probably get shortened to tash,Tasha, nat or Rosie by someone at some point

Rose is nice.

SuperBeagle · 23/02/2018 08:21

I like Natasha a lot, but hate Tash/Tasha/Nat, so I'd choose Rose for that reason.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 23/02/2018 09:15

Rose is so much nicer than Natasha. Tash is a particularly awful nn.

Natsku · 23/02/2018 09:17

I vote Natasha, am very biased though. And Natsku is an alternative to Nat, Tash, Tasha shortenings...

BossWitch · 23/02/2018 09:20

Rose

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/02/2018 09:24

Natasha-Rose would be gorgeous. MoRe ideas.
Saskıa. Natalia. Tallulah. Alexandra.
Claudia. Melissa. Vanessa

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/02/2018 16:10

I prefer Natasha nn Tasha.

Have you considered Ro as a nn for Rose. I'm not personally a fan of Rose I find it a bit bland but most people seem to like it
