Natalia/Natalie/Natalya…

[RattlingRaccoon]

What do you think? Trying to decide whether we like any of the above. DH prefers Natalie, I prefer Natalia/Natalya but not sure on spelling…

To add- I love the nickname Talia, so leaning towards Natalia but DH isn’t sure, he doesn’t like shortened names

Love love love Natalia

I love Natalie!

Natalia

Natalia is my fave of what you have posted

I like Natalia best because I like the nn Talia. Natalie is quite dated.

Or just have Thalia as a name, as it is one in its own right. One of the nine Greek muses.

Natalia is lovely. Talia & Lia are nice diminutives as well.

Thanks all! Would you pronounce Nat-are-lee-ah or Nat-ah-lee-ah…I don’t mind either way, and maybe we should let people choose (?!) but not even sure how I would pronounce it tbh

Natalia/Natalya is pronounced Na-TAH-lee-a.

Natalie- no confusion re pronunciation. The problem is with the other two is your child would be constantly correcting people- annoying all round.

Thalia, Nataliya or Natalia.
Nataiie will be Na-uh-ly.

Pick something else.

Rather unhelpfully, I like them all, providing that you live in an area where the letter T exists. A cousin called Natalie, who lives in an area where T is extinct, has it pronounced as, "Nah-uh-li", which I am somewhat less keen on!

I think that, in the UK at least, Natalia is usually pronounced as, "Nat-ah-lee-ah".

I like Natasha

Sorry we both really don’t like Natasha! Never met one I’ve liked, unfortunately

Thanks for the feedback everyone, lots to think about…

I really like them both but Natalie is my favourite.

Talia is nicer than Tally though.

Sorry - I'm unhelpful!

I prefer Nathalie.

Natalia
what a gorgeous name. I love talia! X

Natasha is short/ informal version of Natalia. Its a very common, wide spread and boring Russian name. At one time, in Türkiye all Russian girls were referred to as "Natasha" - that's how common it is.

Also, in Russlan "talia" means "waist". Hence rhyming joke re "my Natalia with wide talia")))

..a little Russian lesson for you here.

Natalia for me, very pretty

I like Natalie and Natalia! they’re both lovely! :)

Natalie. My favourite girls name forever.

(Correct me if im wring pls!) Natalie is a diminutive if Natalia so you could go for Natalia and call her Natalie if it suits. Beautiful name!

Natalie ! Great name
