Natalie for a summer baby

ellewoodsSC · March 2013

We're expecting a July baby, but struggling to find a girl name that we both love. Right now Natalie Sophia is a front runner for a girl, but is it weird to use a name whose origin refers to Christmas for a summer baby? Am I over thinking it?

You're definitely over thinking it! Which name means that?!? EDIT: oh, wait...Natalie means Christmas?

ellewoodsSC · March 2013

Yes, the name Natalie is derived from Italian and Latin references Christ's birth and is apparently very appropriate for Christmas babies. I had no idea of the specific meaning until I became interested in the name. I wasn't sure if this is common k

You're overthinking it. Wayyyy overthinking it.

ETA: I really like Natalie.

I named my daughter Natalia which means born on Christmas in Italian but she was born on Holy Thursday in April. Not once has anyone said anything to me. I usually get awesome feed back on her name. Love Natalie Sophia.

Overthinking! And Natalie is a beautiful name. I looove it!

I didn't even know Natalie had anything to do with Christmas, so I definitely think it's okay to use for summer baby.

Yes, you're overthinking it. Natalie is a great name and not reserved just for holiday babies. Actually, I would rather a summer baby with the name than a Christmas baby.

You are overthinking this...way too much.

Honestly, I don't associate Natalie with Chris

I like it and I do not think it matters! Most people won't even know either!

My LO is named Natalie and she was born in February. I never cared about the meaning. Natalie is a beautiful name for babies of any season. I loved the name Natalie ever since I knew of actress Natalie Portman. Its the perfect name IMO.

You're overthinking it! Use Natalie if you both agree on it.

Totally over thinking it. Natalie is a lovely name and works for anytime of the year.

Definitly over thinking. I love the name!!!

LorMor · March 2013

I love Natalie, and would prefer to use it for a baby not close to Christmas. To me it would be weird to name a Christmas baby Natalie.

Yes, don't overthink the name:) We named our daughter Natalia (same origin/definition as Natalie), and we don't even celebrate Christmas! So no worries..pick a name you love!

I would have never noticed. Natalie is a pretty recognizable name on its own I think, maybe if you were considering Noel or something it would be a little weird.

Our Natalie was born in June. I have a couple of good friends with this name and neither was born around Xmas. I love the meaning of her name.

sunnyday016 · March 2013

Go for it. Natalie Sophia is beautiful.

NatC5104 · March 2013

My name is Natalie and I was born in July. I think I am the only person that has ever had a thought about it. I am 38 years old and have never had anyone question it. And by the way, I love my name. Hope this helps.

starshineamator · March 2013

I feel that way about Noelle, I always think it is strange on someone not born around Christmas but also weird on someone who IS born around Christmas, haha. But I feel like Natalie isn't as immediately associated with Christmas anymore and that it is tot
