Natalia (Tali).

Hate Natalie when pronounced with out the second T!

I think they meant without the T - Na-a-lee. Which is how it would be pronounced where I live. Awful!

Of the two, I prefer Natalia, but as an alternative, I like Natasha. You don't hear that much nowadays.

Of the two, I find Natalia more elegant (but I like Natasha even more).

Both are nice (sorry, unhelpful).

For what it's worth, I don't think the shortening to Nat is inevitable- I know a grown up Natalie who goes by her full name, she tells people she prefers it so that's what we call her.

Ahh thank you everyone! Looks like Natalia is the winner Smile
The reason I've asked to vote is that I hate when people pronounce my daughter's name "NAD-a-lie." or NAT-É™-lee...
My daughter is now 10 months old and it bothers me so much when people don't pronounce the second a.. i have a Spanish and polish friend and they pronounce it beautifulyGrinI still think Natalie is a bit cuter but only when pronounced in a correct wayWink
Arghhh.. Dilemma Hmm
