I love Natalie, and much prefer it to Leah.

Larissa might have been named Natalie instead, but DH vetoed it from the get go.

I like Natalie a lot, and every Natalie I've known has made a good impression on me. As far as associations, I think first of the lovely Natalie Wood and then of the character Natalie Teager on "Monk." It's a great name, a little on the common side, but not overused.

---

Taken individually, I prefer Natalie over Leah--there's something so solemn about Leah--but in your sibset, Leah gets my vote.

I personally love the name Natalie. It's my sister's favorite name and I look forward to someday having a niece with this name. I, however, prefer the spelling Nathalie. Of the sibset I like Curtis and Natalie the best.

I love Natalie and/or Natalia.

Hmm... associations.
1) Martine McCutcheon's character in Love Actually.
2) there is a French song called "Nathalie" but I can't recall by whom at this moment.
3) Natalie Fotopoulos, she was on the second season of the American version of So You Think You Can Dance

I think Natalie goes well in the sibset...

I love Natalie! It's my best friend/sister's name. And I have a little cousin named Natalie. For mn's all I can think of off the top of my head is Natalie Marie (my friend) and Natalie Brooke (my cousin).

---

I think I prefer Leah with the sibset Jean "Jinnie", Rowan and Curtis. It seems to fit in better.

---

It's ok, but nothing to write home about.

I like it. It makes me think of the beautiful and talented Natalie Portman:)

---

For some reason though, I prefer the superfluous "h", as in Nathalie.

I love the name Natalie (though I prefer the spelling Nathalie, personally). I think it's a great name, and I have nothing but good associations with it. Natalia is also a very pretty name.

---

In the set you've listed, I think Leah works better, but individually, I much prefer Natalie to Leah.

I like the name Natalie, it's quite cute. It also ages well, which is a good thing. Jean, Rowan, Curtis and Natalie is alright, but I think Jean, Rowan, Curtis and Leah fits together better.

I don't like Natalie very much, mostly because it's so popular here. (I love Natasha as a nn for Natalya, though.) I checked the popularity and it is much more popular in the USA than in Australia.

---

I far prefer Leah over Natalie and think it goes better in your sibset.

I have always liked Natalie. I have nothing but good associations with the name. Lately I have been leaning more towards Natalia. With the sibset you have listed, I think Leah fits better.

I love it.

It's a little too boring and everyday for my tastes, but it's very nice. My personal associations? A very sweet one year old who hates loud noises, loves to suck on her sisters' ears, and adores stealing her twin's pacifier. :-)

---

I'm not sure whether I like Leah or Natalie better. Leah is a favorite, and one that I would love to use. Plus, I'm a sucker for Hebrew names of any sort. With your set, though, I think that Leah works better. I quite like Jean, Rowan, and Leah. (Curtis is kinda of a red-neck name in the US...I really dislike it). It's more more modern than Jean, Rowan, and Natalie for some reason.

Good taste, though.
