[Opinions] Re: Natalia
in reply to a message by Linz
This is my name and I get so sick of people calling me na-TAH-lia (with the 'ah' like the 'a' in father, as Snapdragon said) as it is pronounced na-TAL-ia, with the Tal rhyming with pal, as Mommy2B said.
However I think this varies slightly in America, with the different accent and all (I'm English). For example, my stepmother, who is American, has always pronounced it like most of you said, and because of the different accent and vowel sounds it doesn't bother me.
But when someone with an English accent says it like that it sounds like na-TAR-lia, which I hate.
Hope all that made sense!
