It's hard for me to separate it from personal associations, because I've known two women named Natasha, and before I met the first one, I don't recall ever thinking about or considering the name. So I had no preconceived ideas. The first Natasha was loud and talkative to the point that it was annoying to everyone, and caused many people to dislike her. The second is a nice young woman but highly emotional, and you never know when you are going to come upon her when she's in one of her moods, sporting tragic eyes and a red face and will not respond when you say hello.

I don't know, I just can't. Natasha will always mean Natasha K. and Natasha G. to me and for some reason, though I don't dislike either Natasha, that makes me not crazy about the name and it's not something I could ever consider using. The closest I can come to separating it from them is to say that it sounds rather harsh.

Neither one ever went by Tasha.
