Natalie is a very beautiful name. Natasha nickname Nathalie aesthetically isnt a stretch, but it has a good chance of working.

I prefer the Natalie spelling. Nathalie makes me wanna say it as nah-THA-lee. Natalya just reminds me of Natalia. Which is another beautiful name of a family member.

Natasha works in theory but if I met a Natasha who wasn’t Russian I’d assume that was her full name.

I think Tal or Talia could be cute.

I guess I like Natalie best, but the name feels a bit dated, it’s very Xer.

Natasha originated as a nickname for Natalya, which is Russian for Natalie; no reason not to use it that way, but since Natasha is established as an independent fn outside Russia, there seems no point in making it a nn - just use it as a full name in its own right, like everyone else.

The only nn I regularly encounter for Natalie is Nats, which I dislike. I wouldn't use any of them - seem a bit trite - everyone has a birthday, after all! - but at gunpoint I'd go for Natasha.

Natalia is pretty. So is Natalie.

I like Natalie, then Natalia. Natasha is an independent name. Nn Nat
