Natasha is formed by the root of Natalya which is "Nat-" and "-asha/sha", a common ending for Russian pet names. For example, a pet form of Daria is Dasha, which uses the "Da-" from Daria and the ending "-asha", "Masha" for Maria and so forth.
Other pet forms of Natalya can be Natachka, Natanka, etc. There isn't a standard list of pet names for any one given name. Once you get past the traditional nicknames of a particular name, it's customary to "make them up". Any person could have a dozen pet names, if so desired. There's a saying that the more pet names/nicknames people give you, the more they like you. :) Names such as Tatiana and (Y)ekaterina have many, many nicknames.

Miroslava, Evgeniya, and Bogdana.
I like a lot of Russian girls' names when I see them, really. But I can always recall these three and they make my favorites list when put up against all kinds of names, not only ethnic-specific ones, if that makes sense. :-)

I'd say Nikita, which I see as a girls name, and is used as one here in Denmark, and most of Europe. But in reality it is a boys name in Russia. And Nikita's my very fave for a girl.
So other name I like is:
Galina -- My second fave girls name just after Nikita.
Marina
Natalya
Svetlana
Yelena
That's all I can think off.
