Opinions on the name Natalia?

I really like this name and I’m thinking of using it - potentially as a middle name - for my baby (if she’s a girl). Opinions on the name?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Just don’t name her sister Natasha. I knew Natalia and Natasha who were sisters and always wondered if the parents realised they’d called two daughters the same name.

Gorgeous name

It's top of my girl list but OH vetoed it ☹️ beautiful name

HugHog · 06/06/2025 13:33

It's a nice name but watching Good American Family has slightly put me off it!

I'm trying to work out why it would sound bad with a Scottish accent.

Because it gets said very gruffly. Hard to write but something like Nat-a-ly

Agree on the Scottish accent, otherwise gorgeous!

I like Natalia and its diminutive, Natasha.

I am at a loss as to why people come on here to ask questions such as this. There are obviously going to be so many ‘Fors’ and ‘Againsts’ that I can’t see what she’s hoping to achieve. She will be even more confused.
If it were me, I would put both names in a hat, then pick one out. Or use both names, one as a middle name.

Love it. Beautiful sounding name.

piperatthegates · 22/03/2025 15:22

I love it, it was on my list of names for my own DD but my DH didn't like it so it was vetoed.

Bbq1 · 22/03/2025 15:21

Very pretty and feminine.

ThatshallotBaby · 22/03/2025 15:20

I absolutely love the name Natalia. Lovely for a Christmas baby too.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/03/2025 15:14

There was one in my class last year, really lovely girl, so the name has very positive associations for me. I really like it.

Leeloo1233 · 22/03/2025 15:09

I would assume Russian

Snugglemonkey · 22/03/2025 00:53

I think it is lovely (and not just for Italian types). My issue with it us also an accent one. Not the Scottish accent, as there is more than one and I have heard it said here and be perfectly lovely. More the adding random r sounds. Natarliar would totally melt my head. Where do you live Op? What would it sound like there?

MidnightMillie · 22/03/2025 00:41

Oh I love it!

Which is unusual for me because I normally have to sit on my hands when a lot of names are suggested on here!

28Fluctuations · 22/03/2025 00:38

Lovely name wherever it originated! Go for it.

I'd consider it much more of a Russian sounding name.

I also always think of Natalia as Russian.

It is a lovely name. But, there's a but.

It's so Italian sounding - that a curvy , beautiful (slightly high maintenance 😄) lady with a Kelly Brooke figure, long black loose curled hair , sunglasses (the big black ones ) , black long sleeved low v-Cut top, beige chinos, 'clip clop" heels is heavily strutting past looking sassy and confident, chewing a piece of gum. To me, that is 'Natalia'!!! (I think a few posters will be secretly nodding in agreement)

If your Natalia is fair, blonde haired blue eyed and very 'english rose' looking - it just won't work 🙈

Edited

I'd consider it much more of a Russian sounding name.

mathanxiety · 22/03/2025 00:34

Gorgeous name! I love it. It's really elegant, even regal.

stillwaitingtobepaid · 21/03/2025 23:47

I think it’s a pretty name.Just use it if you like it.X

There's nothing wrong with it. Perfectly acceptable name. I don't think the child will have any hassle with it, ie no dodgy nicknames deriving from it.

However I personally don't like it. I don't really know why it might well be the Scottish accent and the gruff way if would end up being said. And actually I don't like Natalie for the same reason.

sunshineandshowers40 · 21/03/2025 23:26

Lovely name. 😊

Lovely name.
