I knew a girl from Russia called Natalia. Her parents' nick name for her was Natashka. That's how I learned that Natasha/Natashka is basically a nickname for Natalia, and not so much its own name there.

I was going to be named Natalia, because I was born on Christmas Day. I would have loved to have the name!

Beautiful name, if I was going to use a Nat- name as a first name I would definitely pick Natalia, although I actually prefer Natasha for a middle name. Natalia is far more delicate and i prefer a strong middle name. I feel that it's very close to Nathaniel, one of my favourites for a boy though.

I love this name. I don't have kids yet, but when I do this will be on the top of my list. I think it's beautiful and unique, while still feeling classic.

Agent Nutella Says:
My name is Natalia, I was born in May and in Asia. Here in Singapore, we pronunce Nutella as "Na-tell-a" and my friends used to call me Nutella just because our pronunciation of Nutella sounds similar to Natalia. I really like Nutella so I just embrace it

My name is Natalia and I went by Natalie for the longest time until my senior year in highschool when I decided to embrace it. Depending on who I'm introducing myself to is what name I go by now. It's a beautiful name but some find it hard to pronounce.

I love the name Natalia, plus Tali and Talia are super cute nicknames!

Guest Says:
Sorry, but this name's origin is not Russian, but purely Latin, otherwise it couldn't mean "birthday of the Lord" (Latin: "Natalis domini"). Apart from that, this is one of those few names I've loved since I was little.
