Opinions and other alternative suggestions appreciated.

Dh wants something substantial on the birth cert so the full names are my compromises.

We will however be using the nicknames primarily from birth.

Surname is 2 syllables 'flowery' type so I didn't want anything too feminine.

I love Alessia, but I think you'll find she'll end up being Ali to her friends, even if you start with calling her Essie!

Natalia, pronounced Talia - although it'll be bastardised and prounced with a flat a. :(

Your nicknames are all dire and scream of try-hard. Well, you did ask!

Hate the nicknames, love Natalaya and Margaret, don't like the rest. Well you did ask!

Sasha is gorgeous.

Don't really like any of the nicknames, to be honest I'm not crazy of the full names either but would choose Natalya.

Drop Tully though, it's just awful. Reminds of of Susan Tully aka Michelle from Eastenders.

I like natalya but with the nn Talie.

Thesimplethings · 20/08/2013 10:15

I like natalya

meditrina · 20/08/2013 10:14

Of those, I'd prefer Natalya, but with Tasha as the nn.

If you really want to use one of the nns day to day, than I'd go for Alessia/Essie.

What about a unisex (but more widely used on boys) name like Sasha?
