What do you all think of this? Have always loved it and just suggested it to my sister who is expecting!

Russian SIL is either Natalia or Natasha depending on who's talking to her. I like it

I like it but I really dont like it when people shorten it at school etc to Nat.... nothing worse!

nigglewiggle · 12/02/2009 21:25

Like it.

sleepyhead3 - I have a Natalia nn Talia so I obviously love the name! What does your sister think to your suggestion of it?

lauzie · 14/02/2009 22:54

Love it! friends little sis... about 18 I think is a Natalia and get Talya from friends. Really lovely!

I like it pronounced in the Italian/Spanish way (Nata-LI-a), but not pronounced Nat-AR-lia. So I wouldn't choose it becaue I think most people would pronounce it the second way.

Laugs · 15/02/2009 08:50

It's my middle name! Mine is pronouned in the Italian/Spanish way as above. No-one's ever pronounced it the other way actually, but then people don't say your middle name that often.
I think it's lovely and have never met anyone else called it. Wish it was my first name (mine is way too common).

Don't like Nat though.

lunamoon2 · 15/02/2009 15:40

I like it.

Wigglesworth · 15/02/2009 15:45

It's nice, sounds like a pretty girls name, I like Natasha as well.
