I know a few Russian girls named Dariya and Darina that go by Dasha. I think it's lovely, although something about the 'c' in the name makes me think it's masculine. I would like it better as Dasha.

I mentioned the other day that a girl who works at a local fast food place has the name Dasha. I like it, especially the way it is pronounced, but I imagine it is open to some teasing about dashing around, daschunds etc.

It reminds me of Daschunds. I wouldn't use it.

I've heard it as well, I think it must be a Russian nn for Daria or some other D- name. It's cute, though I'm slightly bugged by the fact that "technically" it's a nickname.

Dasha (spelled this way, just like it's Sasha in the original) is a Russian diminutive of Daria/ Darya. I've met quite a few and it's also a popular name for dogs here (in Croatian it's spelled Daša).
I quite like it spelled Dasha or Daša, but prefer it as a nickname.

I know a girl named Dasha.... so it works for me! :-)
