I asked someone their opinion of the name Natalie Michelle and they said it was too 80's...whatever that means. I don't think of names belonging to any decade.

What do you think of this name?

  1. i think its a cute name..sounds like a pretty girls name =D


  2. I love that name it is so cute. Dont let people tell u that!

  3. it's a nice name. I did go to school with some girls named Natalie (and the more French Nathalie) in th e80s as it happens, but it's a name that never goes out of style.


  4. i think thats cute.

    i dont no wat to to 80s means!?!

  5. No. You could use it now. But it is a really white girl name like Katie.

  6. that person said something stupid and you should ignore it.

  7. It's not my favorite name but who cares what others think of the name. as long as you like the name. i don't really think it is a "80's name".

  8. I like it.

    I don't think it sounds 80's, and even if it does I'd rather have an *80's name* than one of the ones that's trendy now, like Mackenzie, Maddison, Addison, Allison, or something made up and silly like Brieley, or Khathinjah (seriously know women that are considering those).  

  9. It sounds ok but just ok not a great name. Sorry but that's just my opinion.  

  10. I think it is cute and if you like it that is all that matters.

  11. Great name.

  12. I love it !!!   My sister in law just had a baby 3 days ago and she named her Natalie Lynn. My sister in law is 26. I was a teenager in the 80's and Natalie was not a popular name from that era. " Jessica " was the top name for girl's I had 6 friend's all have girl's and named them "Jessica" !  I know it was strange atleast we couldn't forget their names lol. You are right no names belong to any decade just some are more popular then others at the time. You name your child what YOU want. My youngest is named Charles and nobody says that is a old name, I wouldn't care if they did my husband and I love it and that's all that matters.  

  13. Too 80's? Madonna is too 80's. Boy George is too 80's. Scrunchies are too 80's. Parachute pants are too 80's. Natalie Michelle is beautiful. And definitely not too 80's!

  14. Lovely name

  15. i dont think so i really like natalie jessica and vanessa are super 80's

  16. i think thats the cutest name.

    i like it.

    ♥

  17. I don't think it belongs in the 80's, but it might be a bit overused. For the record, it is a beautiful name, my niece is named Natalie Ayla, middle name is Turkish, pronounced(eye-lah). Natalia is a name on a soap opera I watch, but it kinda sounds like private parts, so I don't like that version. We call our neice Nat for short.  

  18. Not really, Natalie is more current than 80's.And Michelle is more 70's (making a come back) than 80's.

  19. I think it's a very pretty name. In the year 1980 the name Natalie ranked 65th in popularity, but just last year, 2007 it ranked 17th--so it's definantly more popular now than it was in the 80's.  

  20. my friend has that name..and shes 14....

  21. Natalie isn't, but Michelle is. I think they mean it's dated. If you like it though, go with it.

  22. Maybe you could freshen it up some ie: Natalia Michelle instead?

  23. i love the name natalie:)

  24. I dont think it is..I like natalie but not michelle though.

  25. Natalie was a very popular name when I went to high school (I was born in the 70's), but I don't find it dated at all. The actress Natalie Wood was popular way before the 80's, so I don't know where she's coming up with that lol. I love the name Natalie as well and have never heard anyone say it's dated at all, so I would just disregard her comment. I would still use it.

  26. I love the name Natalie!!! You call your baby what ever you want to call her! I had that problem on my son so I stopped telling people what we were thinking of!! Good luck xx

  27. I love it! So cute.

    <3

  28. Not my fav. but Its what you like s***w other ppl just look at my names lol

  29. If you love it, go with it.  There will always be a critic, that is why you have to listen to your inner voice and go with your gut.  You know more than anyone what kind of person your child will become and you know which name fits them best.  You are the one that will be saying her name for the rest of your life, ignore that 80s comment.  Natalie Michelle is a beautiful name, nothing wrong with it at all.
