Youngest Obama Daughter's Real Name NOT 'Sasha', but Soviet/Russian 'Natasha'...

It was once not uncommon in 'captive' communist satellite nations (subjugated to the USSR) to give your child a Russian name, mostly to show support for the Soviet system and provide them a leg-up in the commie world. But how many (esp black) Americans do YOU know with a Russian first name?

How amusing it is then that the Obamas' last federal tax return revealed a fact not publicly known- that 'Sasha's actual legal name is 'Nastasha', which means 'birthday' in the language of the USSR. And something tells me it wasn't just because it sounded pretty.

Of course it's a family tradition with Obama- after all, his parents met in Russian language class at the University of Hawaii. And WHAT kind of people took Russian in America in 1961...? Outside of CIA spooks, Lee Harvey Oswald comes to mind...

So if he really had a son, his name wouldn’t be Trayvon? It would be Boris?

There were also a handful of people like me who were interested in Russian music and culture...

'Sasha" is a nickname or short form for Natasha. One of the instructors at Norwich once told me that a beginning student once answered the usual question as to why any interest in Russian thus: "My grandparents were communists, my parents are comunists, I'm a communist, and I want to be able to read Marx in the original language!" The instructor said he didn't have the heart to tell her and somehow or other kept his face straight, but it must have been hard.

My second grade teacher had a daughter named Natasha. Hmm. And their last name was Robinson. I wonder if they were commies related to Michelle. They were also black. I was in second grade in the 70s in MS.

I also knew a Greek family whose daughter was named Anastasia. They were exotic to us rednecks. :)

Studying Russian at a real school like Norwich or Middlebury should cure most people of wanting to be communists. I’ve never heard a Russian say anything good about communism or communists. No idea what happened to Bork Obunga...

don’t we have more important things to report

Well, Russian girls’ names are pretty, I think

But who did they name Malia Obama after- Bahb Mali?

[Reaganite Republican]

I thought it was interesting how it was hidden for 5 years... normal people don’t hide their kids’s names.

[dfwgator]

And if he had a son, he's name him "Boris."

“But who did they name Malia Obama after- Bahb Mali?”

Malik Shabazz?

[Snickering Hound]

So...that would make Obama "Fearless Leader"?

“”So if he really had a son, his name wouldn’t be Trayvon? It would be Boris?””

Boy! That was fast thinking...

You must not spend much time on Wikipedia. They reported her name as Natasha three or four years ago.

Besides, Natasha isn't a Russian name. It's Pottsylvanian.

Hahha! Good one!

The kids are not the problem.

I didn’t like the stuff about the Bush girls, Chelsea and i don’t want these kids “examined” unless they’re spies.

What are we? ….People Magazine?

“Teacher…………leave those kids alone.”
