Natalia.

.

I like both names, but Arianna edges Natalia out.

nt.

I prefer Arianna. Natalia is ok, but Arianna sounds prettier to me.

Arianna

Arianna for me. It's very powerful and expansive feeling, with that big A on the front, but it's not overbearing because of the -anna. Natalia looks Catholic to me (not because I know Catholics with the name but because of the meaning) - while that isn't a bad thing in itself, but any strong association like that usually makes a name less attractive to me *on paper.* Besides, saying nah-TAH-lee-a out loud makes me feel ridiculous; and if I say nuh-TAL-ya (TAL rhyme gal) I feel ridiculous. I prefer Natalie... it's what I'm used to, so Natalia feels overdressed.

Thatis a tough decision. I like both. Natalia.

I like both, but I'll go with Arianna.

Natalia

I'd have to say Natalia, because it's my name and I love it! I do also like Arianna though, with that spelling.

I prefer Natalia over Arianna. I much prefer Ariana over Arianna.

---

I have a beautiful niece named Natalia, so I have a soft spot for it. :)

Both are nice but Arianna is a bit sickly-sweet so I'd prob go for Natalia

---

S xx

They're both pretty. Umm...I think Natalia, but I also like Arianna. If I really had to choose it would be Natalia.

I definitely prefer Natalia over Arianna, though overall, I'd prefer Nathalie & Adrianna.

Natalia

I like Natalia a bit more, though I love both names.

Of the two, I prefer Natalia, but if Arianna was spelt Ariana, I would choose Ariana. The -anna ending looks too trendy to me.

I like the sound of Arianna better, though I'm quite sick of it lately as we've had about 5 of them born at work so far this year! (Including Aryanna and Ariana, that is) We've only had one Natalia, but it sounds a bit harsh to me for some reason. Natalie, on the other hand, is cute but we've had a big boom of those in my area lately, too. Oy.

Arianna! :-)

Natalia allthe way. I don't love it . . . but I HATE the name Arianna!!!!

Natalia

Arianna is so very boring to me. I don't really like Natalia much, but I've been liking it more lately, and at least it has some strong consonants in it.

I think I like Natalia better, although it might depend on the whole name overall. It seems stronger. It is also very close to the name of my oldest niece:), so it has good associations for me.

Edited for spelling!

Arianna!

Well, definitely Arianna because Arianna Jade is my top combo. I like Anna, and similar names.

---

I prefer Natalia over Natalie, and it's an ok name, but it's not a favorite.

depends on the pronunciation of the name Natalia but i would probably like Natalia better

Natalia.

Arianna does absolutely nothing for me. In fact, it might just be up there as one of my least favorite names. I think I'm just not fond of names that end in -ana or -anna. :/

Natalia, though, is absolutely gorgeous, IMO. :)
