I discovered something slightly freaky about the name Natasha and her date of birth. Well, I've thought about this before but never bothered to estimate or calculate any dates, until today. A little background - Matthew and I picked the name Natasha a very long time ago, way before we were even engaged, let alone married. I suggested the name because I always loved it and Matthew must have liked it too because he obviously went along with it. So we decided to name our first daughter Natasha a very very long time ago. Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that we simply chose the name because we liked the way it sounded. And she was born at a nice full-term date of September 18, 2006.

Now, once I know the birth-date, I can enter it into a conception date calculator which I entered into the Pregnancy.org calculation form. I replaced the estimated due-date of September 11 with September 18 which was the actual date she was born on along with the cycle length of 34 days (my average). And voila, the estimated date of conception is Christmas - December 25, 2005.

And now for the freaky part - I entered the name Natasha into BabyNamesWorld.com which is a website that lists thousands of baby names and their meanings, and you can see for yourself the meaning of the name Natasha - Christ's birthday.

I find this incredibly freaky, but Matthew will probably laugh it off as a coincidence and say these dates are estimations and averages, but I don't care. I still think this is way too weird to be a simple coincidence. Now, what am I going to do with this information? Nothing at all, I just find it odd.

Edited to add: when Matthew read this post he indicated he finds this amazing and knew about this too.
