I like Natalie but prefer Natalia which doesnt go with your other names.

What about Amanda, Josephine, Lucy or Joanna.

I think it's nice - tiny bit "80s" but not massively so. Natasha for a nickname for Natalie though - what?! They are two different names, surely.

I'm not sure it goes 100% with your other DC's names but I don't know if that matters in the long run if you love the name.

My friend has two children with quite modern/colloquial names - her third is called something quite classical and my first thought was Hmm .

She's 5 now and she is who she is and the combo of names is totally irrelevant.

One of my closest friends is Natalie so I'm a bit biased!

Don't like it! Dated and clumpy.

Dreadful. Especially when pronounced minus the "t" in the middle - Naaa - a-ley.

I like it and pronounce it beautifully!

Far nicer than other more fashionable names such as Florence or Beatrice.

I have a Natalie so I like it, in case you are interested in nn's , she is nine and never called anything other than Natalie.

I like it, but I LOVE Natalia.

Littlecherublegs · 26/10/2013 23:21

I like it though dislike Nat which she would probably get called.
I like Natalia and Natasha too but would personally avoid for the same reason.

I really didn't think it was dated! Not used often but still 'in there'.

I'm still 98% sure I will use it though Grin
