Really? I don't know any other Natalie's besides mine...

My friend in IL's daughter, and I've run into at least 3 Natalies around here. Maybe its popularity is regional? It is a pretty name, I can understand why its gaining in use.

My first daughter is named Jennifer...now that name is a bit overused but I had it picked for many years while going through infertility and I was set on using it.

One daycare I looked at for her had 5 jennifers already

My daughter's name is Jennifer too. When I picked her name in 1975, I was so proud of myself. I thought I was being original. Hahahaha.....there must have been 6 other Jennifers in every class she had. Her middle name is Alane--at least I was clever enough to change Elaine to Alane. I don't think I've ever seen that name anywhere else.

With her name being Jennifer Alane, she has a ton of nicknames. Some she likes and some she doesn't really care for. At least none of them are in bad taste.

I like the way Clara looks with the name Elizabeth. The length of the name rolls off the tongue well also. I think the others are too long when they are spoken with Elizabeth.

I like them all but Clara Elizabeth is so sophisticated and pretty.
We have to decide on what our lil girl will be named...

I must have a weird tongue! ClarA Elizabeth is tough for me to articulate. I would rather it be Claire Elizabeth.

I don't know what your last name is (and I am not asking), but, I would be cautious of having your child's initials spell something. For instance, my friend is having a baby girl in May. If they went with just her last name, and didn't hyphen it with his, this little one's initials would be ARS.
