My name is Natalya and I really love my name, when I was younger I didn't like it because people struggled to pronounce it or called me "Natalie" which I dislike and as a shy child I would get too embarrassed to correct people on how to say my name. I tell people the easiest way to remember how to say it is Talia with an Na at the start. When I got a bit older I loved it and was excited that there was a Bond girl named Natalya. Today when I meet new people or even when they ask for my name for a coffee order I frequently get complimented on the name. I would recommend to parents choosing a name that your daughter will grow to love it and be glad that you gave it!

I like this name a lot, especially compared to Natalie, which is still nice, but I like Natalya a lot better, and kind of because of the Y.

I think this name is really elegant and refined, and a good alternative to the ever-popular Natalie. I like how this name isn't too difficult to pronounce, because of its sister name Natalie, and also is very uncommon as well.
Natalya Arlovskaya, the representation of Republic of Belarus in an anime known as Hetaria (or, Hetalia), is one of the more major supporting characters.
I'm not usually a big fan of Russian names, but I have always liked Natalya. I first heard it several years ago in a movie about Russian spies. I fell in love with how it just seems to roll off the tongue. It's a keeper.
