[Opinions] Re: Natasha
in reply to a message by Realisticmind379
I like both names but I wouldn't use then as names for potential kids because I feel like I grew up around a lot of girls with both names.
An interesting thing to note with spelling and pronunciation of Natasha in Australia: I've seen Natasha spelled "Natarsha" with the "ar" spelling making an "ah" sound (as in father) rather than the regular "a" sound (that would sound like the start of the word apple). The name "Tasha" can be pronounced "Tah-sha" (the same as the end of "Natarsha") as well as the usual "Tash-a" (rhyming with "masher" in an Australian accent).
Natasha is the usual spelling used with the usual pronunciation.
