Katisha
I was watching Midsomer Murders yesterday and one of the characters was called Katisha after the character in the Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. WDYT of Katisha?Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

It looks very made up. I think a real life Katisha would get called Katyusha a lot.
I think that Katisha sounds like a pretty name!
It was pronounced KaTeesha
How is it pronounced ka tee Sha or ka Tish a
In The Mikado it's KAtisha. Which is just as well, because I'd otherwise have guessed kaTISHa, which is a very obvious sneeze. Hilarious play, very politically incorrect nowadays - plump elderly women are figures of fun and unsuitable for a happily married life, or any kind of married life actually. That said, I'd far rather be called Katisha than the beautiful soprano heroine's name - Yum-Yum!
And other characters are named Ko-ko and Nanki-poo. Katisha at least looks like a name.
