Help[Opinions] Re: Natalia
in reply to a message by Perrine
It makes me think of childbirth, in a way that's not pleasant, similar to how the English pronunciation of Bertha does (natal, birth).
I'd prefer Natalie, because I'm more familiar with it, but it's got the same problem (it's natally). I dislike Nathalie / Nathalia less.
I actually like Talya and Thalia by themselves, so I'd prefer either of those to all of the above.
I do get a different vibe from Natalie and Natalia.
I could see Natalie as...80s-00s, sporty, maybe also delicate or a bit flighty. I'd group it with Roxanne / Nadia / Violet / Melanie, but I think all of those are prettier.
Natalia sounds more (upperclass? ornately? stereotypically?) Russian. It's like Anastasia (too frilly for me), though it sounds more rigid to me than Anastasia does...but that's when I imagine Natalia as an adult. When I imagine it used for a child, it sounds more Hispanic, maybe more like Valentina / Emilia / Renata / Lucia.
I guess overall I like the vibe they have. I don't like the look/sound, though.
