Comments for the name Masha

Chekov used the name Masha for a couple of characters.

The Bulgarian "Maria Ilieva" known as "Masha Ilieva" is one of the best Bulgarian prima ballerinas.

There was an adopted Russian girl on Oprah with that name and an amazing story.

Masha might make people think of the Russian girl who for a while was mostly known as Disney World Girl, Internet girl and Internet Porn girl. She was adopted by an American single man who abused her and put out pornographic pictures of her on the net. She has been on Oprah, but I wouldn't call her story amazing.

It reminds me of Marsha with a Boston accent. Mah-shah. I probably wouldn't name anyone this.

This name is also Yiddish (Jewish). It is used as a feminine form, of the Hebrew name Moshe, which is masculine.

In Slovenian, MAŠA.

I kinda like it. It's a bit better than "Sasha" or "Tasha".
