Help[Opinions] Re: Natasha, Nina, Nadia
in reply to a message by cassilda in carcosa
Natasha: 5/10. The original impression of it is a pure, sociable, warm-hearted, and sometimes rich girl, kind of like Natalya 'Natasha' Rostova in 'War and Peace', which I like; it's got a 'trendy' (and sexy? It's not what I want but now it does feel sexy to me) vibe nowadays, similar to Sasha, Tanya, and Tonya. Overall I like it, but not a lot. I prefer Natalia.
Nina: 5/10. Yes, it's a bit too simple, but has an interesting sweet feeling because of the N's. I prefer it as a nickname for Antonina, Saturnina, etc.
Nadia: 5.5/10. Good; it would be more substantial and appealing if it's not originally a diminutive.
So for me, it's Nadia > Natasha = Nina.
Combos I like:
Nina Eliza
Nadia Augustine

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.
