What do you think of this name? We are a French family living in the UK, and we are looking for a name which is goes in both languages and is a classice (Sophie and Hélène are also on the list)

Gorgeous unusual and classic.

The Natalie's I know (two of) have not had their names shortened.

In fact, think I'll add it to my girls list. NB I do like the Russian version Natalya.

I love it.
It's DDs name though, so I'm probably biased Smile

We used to foster a girl called Natalie. She wasn't the nicest so for me it has unplesant connotations, I love your other names though :)

Sounds fine to me, I like it. Would it be pronounced the English or French way? French more unusual but I guess you couldn't control that much away from home!

I like it, I imagine it sounds good with a French accent.

I know one, who's about 9, so not common.

Love it! I would've used it but have a close friend by the same name and didn't want the confusion!

Huh, I think of it as very 80s. I would assume Natalie is in her 20s-30s.

I think it's quite a classic name. Nice.

I like the name but the dropped "t" in the middle would bother me. You would have to be really srtict on pronunciation. Love Helene!
