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?

Na-tahl-ya

tahl like dahl
ya quite short, no real emphasis on the 'a'

Nat-al-i-ah

its our friends Italian GFs name & she pronounces it - Nat- ahhl-lee-yah

Na tal ee a

Nuh-TAHL-ya (I'm american if it makes a difference)

I'd pronounce it Na- TAL- ia (hard a like cat), although the one I know, lovely little girl, goes by the nn Taly (pron. Tarly).

Nat AL iya

Being northern I make the middle a short and think it sounds nice and more even that way. If you go for a southern drawly 'ahh' sound it sounds like something from Eastenders.

Definitely Nat at the beginning, like Natalie, not Nut.

Ok that was a it mean. Nuh-taaar-lia sounds like Eastenders. Na-tah-lia could sound quite nice.
