Natasha? What are your impressions?

[JoggingJemma]

I really like this anme but wonder what the general opinion is of this name.

Would appreciate your views

Also, if you like it or not?

I like it. A lot. Thought of it for dd.

I was worried about it being shortened to 'Tash' or 'Nat' something but actually not that bad is it.

I really want to like it - but there were 6 Natasha's in my year, and they were all horrible. So am unfortunately prejudiced; my immediate thought is Chav Sorry!

sounds common i agree, unfortunately, as the one i know is but lovely too.

Natasha is slang for Eastern European women working in the west as prostitutes, usually in conditions of slavery. Book here.

The name is a pet form of Natalya, which I prefer.

Love it - I wouldn't be concerned about any hooker slang.

Natalya nice but it will becomem Natalie.

yes I remember about that slang now.

I like it a lot, would have used it except that my DH thought that it would have been shortened to Nat/Nats, so he didnt want to use it.

It's very dated now though surely?

I imagine a Natasha to be about 25. (I also imagine them to have blonde hair extensions and a permatan, but that's by the by.)

I always think of Natasha McElhone. Lovely actress.

I like it - it's quite a well known name but sounds nice though.

I like the full name but can't stand the NN Tasha.

I like it.
