Would you assume someone with the name Natasha was born in December?

[Bsaunders4231]

It means “Christmas Day”and i have a daughter due in October but im concerned it’s not sound right on someone not born near Christmas. I just think this name is very classy and pretty and isn’t really heard of nowadays. Thoughts?

i know of the connection, but I don't think it matters. None of the Natalie /Natalia/Natasha's I know are December babies!!

Nope. My sister is Natalie and her bday is august. I know the meaning is Christmas-y but it's not what I think of when I hear Natasha/Natalie

I always think of Natasha as someone in glamourous furs and living in a cold city .Not Christmas .

My DD is called Holly , born in June !
I would never have landed her with this name if she was December .

My cousin is a Natasha, born in May! Most won't have heard of that, I certainly hadn't. Even if they have, they wont think much of a Tash not being born in Dec....

No

No. I'm a Natalie and it's only due to this thread that I've found out that means "birthday of the lord/Christmas". I don't think it's a common association (possibly it is and I'm just being a bit thick). I'm born in summer, for what it's worth.

Natasha means “beautiful” in Arabic though.

I understand the “lords birthday” meaning, but it’s not an overtly Christmassy name. I mostly think “Easreen European” or “XXX’s mum”.

It's a lovely name, whatever time of year the girl is born. I don't know why, it always reminds me of squirrels - absolutely no idea why I make this connection, maybe I once read a children's book with a Natasha squirrel in it hahahaha

I have two December babies. I never knew Natasha meant Christmas.

My mother in law wanted mine to be called Carol and Holly. They were born on Christmas Eve so you can also guess that name came into the mix too...

No, they're not anything Christmas or December related!

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads , 'Natasha means “beautiful” in Arabic though.'

I doubt it

Actually, I’m wrong.
I was quoting my dad’s Egyptian colleague!

I had no idea!

I'm a natasha and I'm born in November
Nobody has ever made that link regarding Xmas despite me knowing it.
However I have been asked many a time if I am Russian and do I know that it is a Russian name .

No- I never knew of the connection with Dec either.

A friend has a Noelle who was born in March!

Nope.

The only names I'd assume were December babies (off the top of my head) are Holly and Ivy.

No not at all. I know Its a name loosely associated with Christmas but I wouldn't think twice about a non December baby being called Natasha.

I know you didn't ask, but I think it's a beautiful, underused name and think you should go for it. I went to school with a Natasha (early 30s) now and she is the only one I've ever met. I would absolutely consider it if I were to have a third daughter

No, and I’ve never heard this before. I know two Natashas, born in January and April!

I'm a Natalie, I've always known by name birth of the Lord but wasn't a December baby. Never bothered me. Natasha is a lovely name!

Call the baby the name you want. Are all Hollys born in December? I doubt it and, really, who cares?

No. I was slightly stunned to discover that my friend June's birthday is November, but I didn't know Natasha was related to Christmas.

No

I know a Natalie and she's Jewish. I know a Holly and she has a Spring birthday.
I wouldn't cross my mind Natasha being associated with Christmas.

@Mariposista because Boris and Natasha always 'made big trouble for moose and squirrel'" (use terrible Russian accent) in the old Rocky and Bullwinkle animated TV show. There was a film, too.

I’d no idea about the Christmas connection. I only know of one and she’s about fourteen now.

No.. now you mention it it feels winter-y, but I think that’s because it’s Russian 🪆 It was somewhat popular in the 70s and that’s what I’d associate it with. I also quite like the full version Natalia.
