After collapse of U.S.S..R. due to some
reasons there was a rush to Turkey
esp.Black Sea Region.100%of these women
came from old U.S.S.R republics esp
russia ukraine and belarus.Turks names
these women ' natasha' a common name in
Russian language.Natasha word is being
currently usiedin a slang way
,equivalent of prostitute.In my opinion
u had better change or use another name
that sounds more Turk like u wrote
here.Turks have prejudice against
russians some.but it idepends on the
plave where u go.it is ok at summer
places and south but in inner anatolia
or some specific places it is still
being used.hope i could help you some. Comment by: Akn

This is a bullshit!Im Ukrainian and I've
been working in Turkish company more
than for 3 years and I never heard such
a lame thing.Maybe somewhere in Turkish
mountains locals still use thisname in
bad meaning but in big cities u will
never hear the name Natasha as insult... Comment by: Olena
Olena if you watched Tuırkish News
channel or read newspapers, you should
have seen even in there too. We use that
word in every where, city, village or
rural places whereever you call it.
Maybe your collegues hiding or dont want
to say. Comment by: whocares
I agree, the name Natasha unfortunately
has taken a bad form here in Turkey. You
can not change the bias against any
culture once it sets itself in the
culture. I
have spent many years in the US and it
is
the same thing with the Chinese not
being
able to drive and African Americans all
are
gang bangers. People forget that a
person
should not be judged by where they are
from or what their name is, only
character
matters... Comment by: Lycan
This is the most ignorant, small-minded
and downright racist thing I have ever
come across. How on earth can
you take a name that is popular and
admired all over the Western world, such
as the UK, America, Canada, Australia,
France and Germany and corrupt it to
such an extent. Shocking but most of all
sad in its myopia. Comment by: TheVoiceofReason
Dear Natasha,
You have an absolutely beautiful name.
No vacation is worth adopting a
pseudonym or pretending to be someone
else. Be who you are, conduct yourself
with elegance and grace and show people
how false their preconceptions are. If
people nevertheless treat you with
anything but the utmost respect, my
advice would be to find another holiday
destination. The world is full of
beautiful
places. Comment by: AnswertoNatasha
This is not really accurate. It's more
like Jane doe in the
USA. It does not widely mean
prostitute. Comment by: Ahmed Rated:1/5
I am from turkey but I never heard that
name used as a bad word. Comment by: trojan horse
People with bad intentions or low mental
performance can sometimes use the name
"natasha" for "prostitute". Comment by: menatkhufu
