Help[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Natasha?
in reply to a message by Kady
I first think of Natalie Wood (the little girl in the original "Miracle on 34th Street", Judy in "Rebel Without a Cause" and Maria in "West Side Story) one of my favorite actresses (I like watching classic movies). Her birth name was Natalia and her nickname Natasha. Natasha is also what she named her first daughter.
To me the name Natasha is a nickname. A Russian nickname. For Natalia or Natalya.
It is also usable on it's own as it doesn't sound nicknamey. I only really dislike it when people use Sasha as a nickname for Natasha. I mean come on the nickname of a nickname ? Plus isn't Sasha a nickname for Alexandra or Aleksandra ?
The problem with Natasha is that it sounds trashy. Very trashy. And many strippers seem to choose this name. It sounds too sexy and not in a good way. Not very educated. Natalia on the other hand is lovely and doesn't have the sexy/uneducated/trashy image of Natasha.
So I would say Natasha on its own NO. As a nickname for Natalia YES.
