Girl's name Pasha

[Kwini]

Not as in Passover (the root of the Russian boy's name) - I'm thinking of a Hindi derivation. Thoughts?

[rolandbrowning]

Isn't it the name of a club in Ibiza?

[LaDiDaDi]

All it makes me think of is a goth clothing shop and a nightclub but if I didn't have those associations I would like it iyswim. I think if I got used to it as a name then I'd like it.

[MumOfBaby]

Pasha is a really girly clothes designer- little peach tops and stuff. Not really a name.

[pginthecloset]

makes me think of nightclub too

[PuppyMonkey]

Oh, Oh!!! I was on a day out with the family yesterday and heard a posh mum calling her flowery little girl over: "Pasha, Pasha!" I thought I must post on MN, but you beat me to it.

Sounded Poncy when she said it, tbh.

[Leannabanana]

i had some very mental nights out at pasha in london and WOULD NOT like to name my beautiful baby girl after it....how about Mischa? sams sort of sound but prettier imo. Or Sasha?

[pranma]

They were really nasty strong cigarettes in the 40s and 50s

[ScottishThistle]

Ibiza and cherries spring to mind! No, don't like it as a name.

[TsarChasm]

Nightclub.

And I'm over 40 and knew that too!

[suwoo]

It made me wrinkle my nose up when I read the thread title, so no I don't think that I like it. Well that's what my subconscious told me.

[stleger]

A lady in our local very posh family is called Pasha. She told me about her doves once.

[MIAeatingeggs]

Nightclub in Ibiza springs to my mind too.
Sorry.

[artichokes]

In Neighbours on the 80s/90s the teen characters (Scott, Charlene et al) called snogging pashing. So I think of that and the club.

Sasha is lovely.

[Anifrangapani]

Pashing is indeed snogging in Oz.... as she remembers her childhood.

[AitchTwoOh]

ddidn't they have live sex shows at pasha?

[TabithaTwitchet]

I like it a lot. But to me it is more of a boy's name; I know several (Russian) male Pasha's

[pinkmagic1]

Always thought it was a boys name of Turkish origin, nice though.

[Marla1980]

I know a woman called Pasha, she is about 30ish. I always thought its a nice name, though uncommon.

[SuziSeis]

boys name imo

[BabyBaby123]

Sasha is nicer

[StripeyKnickersSpottySocks]

Sasha or Tasha are much nicer. Don't like Pasha, sorry.

[hoppybird]

I see Pasha as a boy's name too (Russian diminutive of Pavel, ie Paul, nothing to do with Passover - I guess you're thinking of Pascha, pronounced with an 'H', not a 'sh').

I was interested in your Hindi meaning, but all I could find was this

If you're interested in Indian names, though, Behind the Name is a good place to look.

[notsoteenagemum]

I thought nightclub/cherries/Ibiza/'avin it large, even though it's spelt differently I think.
Or a nickname for a Pashmina.
Sorry I know two lovely Sasha's though one boy and one girl.

[notsoteenagemum]

or spelled perhaps.
