Help[Opinions] Natella
Hello everyone,
Last time I watched a British adult series "Bromwell High" and there was a girl of Indian descent named Natella. What do you think about the name Natella for a girl who is of Indian descent?

I don't like it, it reminds me of Nutella. Natela is delightful, though.
Alarmingly close to Nutella.
I don't love the suffix of -ella generally, but this one seems to have the above issue that supersedes my personal distaste for -ella names.

It’s pretty, but sounds a lot like Nutella.
Looks like Nutella, or « natel » (the way cellphones are colloquially known in Switzerland). According to this website it’s Russian or Armenian.
Well, I think it'd sound beautiful on a girl with the cultural origin, and I love the sound in English, as well. However, I definitely agree that it sounds a little much like "Nutella," so forgive me for laughing at first 😅.

I don't think anything on that show was meant to be taken seriously. One of the other characters was called Latrina!
For anyone curious, this is from Wikipedia summarising the surreal nature of the show:
"The show represents a caricatured view of contemporary British society, while "delivering a surreal and outlandish viewing experience."[3] For example, the majority of students at Bromwell High School are immigrant children from the Caribbean and Asia, and some of the male teachers are aging 'chavs'. Many of the characters on the show speak a very poor form of English, including the headmaster, Iqbal. Most of the teachers have an affinity for biscuits."
The name Natella does have some usage in Georgia (country, not US state) but Natalie and Natalia would be more widely used across the world. I don't belive Natella is used in India or anyone in the UK with Indian heritage.
I do like Nat and I do like Ella, but not together.

No disrespect to any Latrina's of the world, but I sure hope none received too many "latrine" jokes...😭.
Is it really a name someone from India would have?
That's not something I would know about.
All I do know is it sounds and looks way too much like Nutella.
