My name is Nathalie and I usually go by Tippi. The only person who calls me Natalia is my mother. If I have a child I would like to name them Nathalie or Natalia. Some combos I love are: Nathalie Kay [I'm kind of biased for this because it's my full name]. Nathalie Marie Nathalie Desiree Nathalie Josephine.

My name is Nathalie and I love it. It is spelled Nathalie in French but never pronounced "Na-zha-lee" like some people think, but more like Natalie with a slight difference. In French we say "Na-ta-lee"; in English it's more Nat'lee, which is fine. Just think of Thalie or Thalia as a derivative. Well, the right way to pronounce it is Tahlia not Zhalia.
I really don't like this name, the 'th' in it throws me off, but I do think Nathalie Rapti Gomez is just adorable. She's a Colombian born actress who has a Colombian mother, Greek father but she was raised in Italy since she was a baby so she speaks perfect Italian and is very famous there. She speaks English too, pretty young girl.
This name is really dated to the 1960's in France. It was the 6th most popular name of the 20th century for girls. Despite this, I find it absolutely gorgeous. The same goes for Natalie :)
I HATE hearing the 'th' sound pronounced in this name. This is the French/German spelling and that sound does not appear in it. Only ignorant English-speaking people use it because they are unaware of how it's really pronounced (the sound does not appear in any of its variations as far as I know), or simply don't care. To me it just makes an unpleasant example of the culturally ignorant American stereotype.

I think this name sounds better if you pronounce it like it looks. na-THAY-lee sounds prettier than NAT-a-lee.
I love the name Nathalie. My baby sister was born a few years ago, and when my mom and I were trying to come up with a name, we thought about Rachel but eventually decided on Nathalie. I personally call her Natalia as an affectionate name, but other people call her Ali, which I suppose is OK but not as interesting as Nathalie!

After all, there is no difference in pronunciation between -t- and -th- in Dutch.
