It's an okay name, but I prefer Natalia and Natalya. I've encountered enough Natalies that it doesn't seem very interesting to me. Off of the top of my head, I can think of 3 I've actually met. I've heard the name brought up by people quite a bit though (ex. someone mentioning someone's daughter, wife, etc.) I've encountered it less than, say, Anna though. I guess my point is that it's a common name, but there are more overused names out there.

I pronounce Natalie and Nathalie the same.

What do you think of Natalie?
-I think it's friendly and sweet. It has an approachable, girl-next-door sort of beauty.

How many do you know?
-My stepsister was named Natalie; she was a sweetheart. I also work with a woman who named her newborn daughter Natalie.

I know several, but they arn't children...most young women in their 20s or early 30s.

In my area, (French-speaking) it's spelled Nathalie. The pronounciation is just the same, though.

I prefer Natalie.
If you were opting for Nathalia, I would use the "h"

I like it and I would use the spelling Natalie. I would probably pronounce both versions of the name the same way. I have met a few Natalie's over the years, but don't currently know any.

I've never been keen on this name. It seems dated and overused, i much prefer the more exotic Natalia.

I have five friends named Natalie aged from early twenties to mid thirties. I don't know ay children named Natalie, though I believe that there is a woman on the boards who has a young daughter by this name.

I don't dislike it, it's just so common amongst people my age.

I prn. Natalie and Nathalie the same.
