Natalia ... which nickname?

Have decided on Natalia for DD, after my lovely mum. My mum has always been Nati for short, so we want a different nickname. We can think of Tally, Talia or Tilly. Which do you prefer? DS is Oscar.

Natalia is lovely and rolls of the tongue easily. I wouldn't shorten it at all.

I know a Natalia and her nick name is tali.

nbee84 · 14/07/2010 21:44

I'd go for Talia

  • Tali even!

Whatever nickname you choose, once at school kids will most likely shorten it to Nat.

all your suggestions fine, but I would expect that as she gets older her friends will find their own shortening for her which may not be the same as yours Natz most likely!

I know a Natalia and she answers to Nati, Talia and Tally!

Tali is lovely

nice, when she gets older she might want to choose her own nickname, I know an Isabela who has for a long time always been Izzy and is now "Bella" now she's started high school.

but Tali is my favourite.

Talia or Tali.

I think of Tilly as a nickname for Matilda (which I'm not keen on).

Wow went to have a soak in the bath and sort out a few things and so many replies! Thanks.

Looks like Tally/Tali and Talia are the favourites. I've heard of Tilly as a nickname for 'Natalie' so thought that might work but it's probably not such an obvious nickname.

We will call her by her full name but nice to have a nickname too.
