Help[Facts] Re: Nathalie

Yes.
In general terms, people choosing French spellings in English speaking locations do so for the French pronunciation. I'm thinking recent French descendants anywhere or long-established ones, such as in Louisiana.
Of course, there are always those who will do whatever they want...

In Britain we pronounce the name Anthony as AN-ton-ee and I'm sure Nathalie would be pronounced in the same way. I can't really comment about pronounciation in America but English speakers often use the French pronounciation of name - but maybe it's a European thing : ) .
I see no reason why you should pronounce the 'h' in Nathalie unless you want to.
