I know Natalia/Natalya is a favorite around here, but what do you guys think of Natalie? I've always loved the name ever since I made a friend named Natalie when I was little. She was very sweet and a lot of fun, so the name has that kind of connotation for me.

Thoughts? Do you prefer Natalia, or just plain Natalie? Also, do you think it will gain in popularity?

I love Natalie. It's very sweet. I've only ever met two (one is my age and the other is probably 16 or so now - she spells it Natalee, though). It's already pretty high on the popularity charts and has been for a while. I don't really see it's getting MORE popular, like top 10, but I don't see it dropping much for a while either. I prefer it to Natalia, but I do like Natalia also.

I prefer Natalie to Natalia. Natalie's much sweeter and more down-to-earth than the exotic Natalia. I actually wanted to use Natalie as a middle name awhile ago.

I think Natalie's already fairly popular but I don't see it becoming super popular any time soon.

I really don't like Natalie, it's overused, dull, boring and dated.

Natalia is a like breath of fresh air, it's feminine and beautiful. And the nn Talia, is adorable.
