I think Natahlia Grace sounds beautiful. However, I prefer it w/o the H -- I think it looks much prettier. I know you're concerned about it being confused with Natalie, but there will always be people who pronounce it wrong no matter how you spell it. My DD is Julianna, and she gets Julia/Julianne/Julie every time we go to the ped's office.

I'm not a big fan of the name Angelena, but Grace is an extremely popular mn right now if that bothers you. Natalia Joy, Natalia Faith, Natalia Renee, or Natalia Gabrielle are other less common options.

Okay, maybe I'm being a little too nitpicky -- Natahlia Grace really is a gorgeous name. :-) Good luck!

I like Natahlia Grace, it sounds very pretty. I also like Natahlia Angelina, to me it sounds exotic, which isn't a bad thing.

I agree that Natahlia Grace is a beautiful name. But I also think that the traditional spelling of Natalia would be best. Speaking as someone with an uncommon and hard to spell and pronounce last name, it's just easier to go with the more expected spelling and avoid having to spell your name every time. I saw your posting about the initials NGR. That is so sad! If it were me, that would be a deal killer. I like the other middle name suggestions, though. I have had the same thing happen, with my favorite names' middle initials spelling out MAL, PPL (imagine being addressed as PP), and GAL.

I definately prefer Natahlia Grace, it flows nicely! With my last pg I had Talia Grace on my girl list, but I had a boy!
