Love it!
I think Natalia Sophia/Sofia is gorgeous and would consider using it. But frilliness and/or double -a endings have never bothered me.

I think it's pretty. Maybe a little too rhyme-y, but it sounds exotic. I like it.

I think it's pretty. I really like both names. I've seen way, way worse names.

I've heard a lot worse. A LOT WORSE (Kaypha, anyone?). I think it's kind of sweet, really, though a bit repetitive with the double-A endings.

It's fine.
I don't care for Sophia, Sophie, etc. no matter which way you slice it. It's just never been my thing.
I like Natalia enough, though. I'd take it over Natalie if I had to pick. I actually like Natasha more nowadays; I keep meeting Natashas and Tashas that give me a good impression of the name.

I think it's fine. It may be a bit princessy, which doesn't appeal to me, but that's the worst I can say about it. I really like Natalia.
Even the double -ia endings don't bother me because I don't pronounce them the same way in these two names.

How do you pronounce them? I thought both -ia endings were "ee-ah"?

Not Humblebee, but I pronounce Sophia as so-FEE-a and Natalia as nah-tahl-YA.
1
Yep, that's how I pronounce them.
1
I've never met a Natalia, but I was saying them so-FEE-ah / so-FY-ah (I've heard both ways) and na-TAH-lee-ah.
I didn't look at the pronunciation the site gives cos I thought it seemed simple enough but that Y is strange to me. Wouldn't have guessed the "ia" of Natalia was said "ya"

The three Natalias I have met all pronounce their names na-TAH-lee-ah.
So you are justified. :)

It is pronounced like Moirrey said.

It's very European-sounding and fancy, but I wouldn't call it gag-worthy.
1
I would hardly have had that reaction. A bit banal perhaps, but I would not gag. It seems normal.

Gag worthy?
It's pretty dull, but nothing I'd get the dry heaves over.

It's trying too hard ad pretty much everything Joiya said.

I know at least three Natalias... they are all from Russia.
Wait, correction... one might be from the Ukraine. (same lang. area)

Too many 'ia' endings. Definitely trying too hard. Not a fan.

agreed.
Natalie Sophia would be somewhat lovely (as I adore Natalie), or even Natalia Sophie... however, the repeated sound is a bit to much, and Natalia seems like it is trying too hard in English-speaking countries.
I would give it a 6/10. Not as aweful as it could be since both name are pretty standard and strong... but major deductions for flow, sound and appearance. Basically, palatable but nothing worth repeating.

I love how you explain your rating. I agree!
