named after Natalie Wood as well! I am 25 and Natalie has definitely grown on me especially as I transition into the "adult world!" Great name for a little kid as well as classy for an adult.

I was born a day before christmas so this name does suit me! And I never knew it was french! Just sayin=)

yep im another one.
I get nat, natty, natbat, nat-the-rat the whole deal.
i dont meet that many natalie's so its funny seeing all of you on here!!
i was named after Natalie Wood, i've only very recently started to accept my name its good to see everyone else loves it!!

I'm another Natalie- my middle name is Joelle (which rhymes with Noel and my last name means holiday in Polish, I think it's funny- my favorite holiday is Halloween :)

I am named after Natalie Wood too.. isn't that funny? I think the name flows well .. Natalie Ann...so pretty

I love to write, but I've never heard of an author naming a character after herself or hiself. Natalie is a pretty name, but I've noticed that people rarely ever say the "ta" part. I'm called Nallie. My nickname's Gnat, pronounced NAT but a couple idiots have pronounced it guh-nat.

yeah, i'm ANOTHER Nathalie, but i have a silent "h" in my name so i went thru life with people pronouncing the "th" sound, which drove me INSANE! when i asked my mother WHY she would add that silent "h" to my name,she said that she wanted to name me after her favorite actress, natalie wood, but then natalie wood died when i was born so my mom didn't wanna jinx me, so she altered the spelling while still keeping the name she loved. i actually love mt name, but i DETEST the spelling of it. other than that, i've been called brat-alie, nattie, and natalina or natalia by my relatives, who are italian, which, until just NOW i also thought my name was...and just learned it's french. 26 years old and still learning i guess!

i'm a natalie (nathalie) also, my middle name is jane, which i like but doesn't it kinda sound like a southern country-ish type of name? or is it just me that thinks that?

My name is Natalie.. and I was named after "Natalie Wood" like many of you here..she was my mom's favorite actress. I always get compliments on having such a beautiful name and wouldnt ask for any other name..
Natalie's Rock~!

i was born dec. 15, but i was actually due on christmas, but whatever day i was going to come out my mom was going to name me natalee regardless, because of being born in december, plus natalee means "christmas child" or "celebrate the birth of christ". i love my name and i love the spelling, not many other natalee's spell it the way i do. and my middle name is pretty too. Natalee Marie.

,,i loved this name...

my daughter is natalie elizabeth and it's the perfect name for her.she's girly, yet very tough.i get asked a lot if she's named after natalie wood and you should see the looks i get when i tell people she's named after natalie maines of the dixie chicks!

My siste's name is Natalie...she gets all the nicknames also...Nat nostly but here is one I used to call her - Nally. It stuck for many years.

hey my name is aslihan(Turkish name , origin asl?han) but my friends of other countries call me Ashlynn and my little name is Natalie , i love my names :D

Another Natalie! Natalie Paige. I love my name, one out of 3 in my graduating class. I was named after the movie: The adventures of Natie Gan (spelling?) which my mother loved. I had the usual nick-names, Nat, Natty, Natie, Nat the brat, fatty natty (not my fav) and one that my swedish friends call me-Nally. They couldn't pronounce Natalie right...haha!

i really luv being named natalie but i wish that i could spell it natalee i know that its kind of a different name but im mostly french so w/e.... but my parents say because natalie is on my birth certificate it says natalie i cant change it..... my b-day is december 11th

I am having a baby girl at Thanksgving (not quite December). I think we're going to name her Natalie Claire. I also love the movie Natie Gan. I think the name is pretty and not over used. There shouldn't be seven Natalies is her pre-school class. I hope she likes it as much as some of you do.

I COULDNT BELIEVE THAT MY NAME MEANT CHRISTMAS(BIRTHDAY OF CHRIST).THE ONLY THINGS THAT ANNOY ME IS 1.PEOPLE THAT DONT PUT THE 'H'ON THE NAME EVEN WHEN I TELL THEM TO!! 2.OTHERS THAT SAT'HEY NAHLIE'

i am the proud mommy of a NATALEIGH...theres a spelling for her to hate in 10 years because nobody ever spells it or says it right. but i loved the name, and i changed the spelling because shes not exactly a christmas baby, more like just missed halloween by a few hours..plus i think Leigh is prettier and girlier..and shes VERY girly lol!

Wow, i LOVE the name Natalie :D:D
