How do you pronounce Natalia?

[mincepiefreak]

I really love this name for a little girl, but the pronunciation has got me.
I was thinking Nuh-TAR-lia
I've also heard it pronounced Nuh-TA-lia though. Which do you use?

NuTarlia

Nat ta lia here, there's a girl near here just called talia

I'd say Nat AL iya

Nat - arh - lee - uh

I put an extra t in na ta lia

Nat-ahlia.

Nat-al- lia

Na-Tah-lia

So not ta as in cat, but not tar either, like in car. Somewhere in between.

id pronounce it nah-tahl-ya, but am also saying it with a russian accent for some strange reason, but I really like it :)

nat- AHH -l'ya

Na -TA-lia
as in cat.

Na-TAH-lia, why would you put an r in there??

I love it if it's Na-TAL-ia. Na-TAHL-ia makes my gums itch and completely changes the name to a not very nice one

Nat -are-lia

Nat-are-lia, definitely.

Nat aaaaahhhhhhlllll ya

In the Russian way - Na-TAR-lia

I think it depends on origin. The Russian way is na-TA-lia

Na-TALL-ya.

Na-TAHL-yah sounds affected.

TALL like Torl? sounds very odd to me

yes I did used to speak some Russian.

as in the bond girl in goldeneye.

I think either pronunciation you have mentioned is perfectly acceptable, although I do like Nat-all-ia more than Nat-ah-lia.

I recently met a Nat-ay-lia, which confused me. Never heard that pronunciation.

Na tal i a

Russian pronunciation of Tanya, NaTALia etc. would not be the same as the a in cat - it is slightly longer but nowhere near as long as 'ar'. It's almost an 'uh' sound, a cross between 'ah' and 'uh'.
The anglicisation of Tanya usually produces the 'a' as in cat sound, not as pretty to my ears, although some people still say Tarnya, which I like even less.(Apologies to any Tanyas who pronounce their name that way!)
I'm only using Tanya as an example because it's a more usual name than Natalia but has the same issues, IMO.
