Comments and insights on the name Natalie

Pronounced NAT-ah-lee.

Personal experiences with the name Natalie

My name is Natalie and I like it, but I don't like the fact that it means "born at Christmas" because I was born in August. I have had a few teachers and friends ask if I was born in December. I think the name suits me pretty well, and there are only 2 or 3 girls named Natalie at my school. I really like the nickname Nat because it is what most of my friends call me. I also like the fact that there are rarely problems with the pronunciation.

I like it, it's a nice name and not too common.

I know a girl at my school named Natalie, but she goes by Nataliea because she says Natalie is too ancient.
