The younger daughter of President Obama is indeed a Natasha who is called Sasha. However, that hasn't ever made sense to me, as I don't get how the T in Tasha would normally change to an S. All the other examples I know of American women called Sasha (when it's a pet form and not the full official name) have been Alexandra on the birth certificate.
