I love [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] (or Natalya) would be a close second. [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] is nice, but feels a bit less fresh to me.

I have such a soft spot for [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] — love those Slavic nickname names! — but I agree that [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] feels more timeless, and you could nickname it to [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] (that’s the traditional Russian diminutive).

I may be completely bias but I love [name_f]Natasha[/name_f]. It has a real elegant and regal feel

I like the sound of [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] more. But [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] would be the best of both worlds

I like [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] the most, but [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] is definitely pretty.

Same for me

I much prefer [name_f]Natasha[/name_f]! just sounds so much more fun

[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] for sure! It has such a pretty, graceful sound, and it gives me imagery of sweet sunrises and purple flower fairies around a maypole :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] feels more like bright pink and chartreuse, and huge cities. (although if that’s the image you want, go for it!) I also find that I can picture [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] on both adults and children, but I can’t picture a [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] under 25.

I like Natasha better, personally. It’s more casual and spunky.

I think you’re gonna have to look at the baby to make the final decision. Does the baby feel more like a ballerina spy or like a classical pianist who is also a spy. Both are pretty and I have no particular preference enough to make a vote without like looking at a baby and making a gut decision based on my instant interpretation on its wrinkly confused gummy newborn face.
