I like the name Mischa, prefer this spelling. It is Russian like Natasha and a great fit to big sister's name.

Middle name suggestions-

Mischa Christine

Mischa Brianne

Mischa Corinne

Mischa Claire

Mischa Gabrielle

Mischa Isabel

Mischa Juliet

Mischa Lauren

Mischa Rose

Mischa Victoria

Best of luck,

My Aunt and Uncle's family name is Micha, so I'm not a fan of it as a first name. I'm not sure what you intend as the pronounciation, but the last name's pronounciation is "Meecha". If you mean for the pronounciation to be "Meesha", I'd suggest another spelling, like Misha, or Mischa. As for Lulu, I think of that more as a playful nickname for something else, like Lucy, or Lucille.

I wouldn't use Lulu as a first name at all...it is definitely too cutesey, and next to Natasha Elizabeth, well...it just doesn't fit at all! Lulu sounds more like a nn or a name for a pet, where as Natasha is absolutely majestic! Micha is okay...how would it be pronounced, Mee-Shah or Me-Cha?


Well, best of luck to you!

Micha is kind of strange, but I can't believe anyone would name a child Lulu, sorry, it just really makes me react that way.

I can see it as a nickname for something, but definitely not by itself.

but I don't think either one is in the same category as Natasha, which is a wonderful name.

I don't know what to suggest to you, because the style of Micha and Lulu is so far from the style of Natasha, it's hard to know what you might like otherwise.

good luck

I also prefer spelling Mischa.

With Natasha Elizabeth-

Mischa Frances, Mischa Lorraine, Mischa Arielle, Mischa Jane, Mischa Lynn, Mischa Therise, Mischa Ellen, Mischa Lynnette, Mischa Lindsay, Mischa Annette, Mischa Charlotee, Mischa Renae, Mischa Joan, Mischa Rae

I don't think posters need to be so blunt, but I do agree that Lulu is better as a nickname. There are some stunning names to match the sophistication of Natasha that could be nn Lulu---Louise, Louisa, Lucille, Lucinda.

I think Natasha and Lucinda are GREAT sibling names.

Keep us posted and take care, Ginger

I agree with some of the other posters that Lulu is a nn and I personally wouldn't use it as a first name.

I'm not fond of Micha either. What pops out to me is considering something like Michaela or Mikayla...

Other M names that aren't heard a lot

Meredith

Mercedes

Melanie

Melody

Miranda

Good luck
