[Opinions] Re: Natasha, Nina, Nadia
in reply to a message by Shehrazad
Haha, now you mention it, Sasha is another name I've previously not liked which is growing on me. I just think it's way nicer on a guy, but Sasha (m) gives me such an 'attractive guy' vibe that I could never use it (and sort of have a weird soft spot for stuff like Shurik anyway). I think a mean-girl edgy Sasha (f) would just make the name cool though, even though I hate that persona.
I actually really dislike Natalia unfortunately. Every nice Natalia I've ever known has been "a Natasha" if that makes sense, they've never really gone by or suited Natalia. And although not a bad name, it just feels a bit 'extra with frills on top' even to me, a person who likes extra and who likes frilly names.
Saturnina is neat as hell. Not useable on a person, but I'd use it for a character in a heartbeat.
I'm loving Nadia Augustine as well, that's the kind of clunk I think Nadia needs and Augustine is austere, beautiful and unusual but not too unusual.
