Our story of Latasia
Latasha and Latasia share the La- that opened so many American names of their era and the same stressed ta; they part only at the last consonant, Latasha taking the sh of Natasha and Latasia the softer zh of Asia and Anastasia. Latasia is the rarer of the two and the gentler in sound. It is a name made by ear, and it sounds unhurried.

Fashion outlook
Latasia sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
