About the Name Tarsha

There’s a distinct duality to those who bear TRSH names. The TR phoneme is the symbol of impulsive action that we find in the words triumphant, trespass, trick, troublemaker, trailblazer, tremendous, trumpeting, tripping, and stripper, while the high-pitched SH sound is almost exclusively reserved for words conveying softness and femininity: hush, cashmere, shame, shiny, sheepish, sharing, shriek, she, blush, and mushy. Predicting which TRSH you’re going encounter on any given day is like trying to forecast Maine weather.

In general though, these are enigmatic spirits towards whom others naturally gravitate, and who are perceived to be non-threatening and approachable. TRSHs quietly relish their popularity and, although they never overtly seek the limelight, will sometimes create little dramas in their lives simply to attract attention. So don’t be fooled by the TRSH’s demure show: they’ll be as stubborn as two-year olds at bedtime when they have to.

You’ll have no chance of pushing her in a direction she doesn’t want to go, which is all well and good if it happens to coincide with your plans, but if you’re trying to get her to watch a football game, it’s going to cost you an arm and a chick-flick. She’s probably smarter than most of her friends too, but she’s not the kind to lord it over anyone. The typical TRSH is always available to talk things over and will be so quick to forgive your little indiscretions that you might find it insulting.

A love of travel is one of the defining aspects of these footloose sprites, which is why they always seem to be on the move. This may not mean they’ll actually change their address, but they will be constantly on the lookout for geographically challenging places to visit. This yearning for frequent scenery changes carries over to the TRSH’s working life as well, and when regular promotions or transfers to new locations aren’t forthcoming, they’ll simply pack up and move on. It’s not that they don’t have a sense of obligation or a love of teamwork; it’s simply that their first priority is to quench their thirst for new challenges.

The TRSH isn’t in a big hurry to start her family, and until it’s her turn to march down the aisle, her close friendships will more than fulfill her need for intimacy. But when she’s ready, she’s certainly not going to do it halfway. Her wedding will probably be big and chichi -- and even a little ostentatious. Prospective mates will closely scrutinized and carefully chosen, and it’s almost a given that the TRSH’s marriage will work according to her plan.
