Natalie “born at Christmas”
Though Natalie was obviously not born in December like her brother, Nathan, the traits we’ve chosen to pray for her correspond closely with Christmas. Specifically, we hope Natalie will be both peaceful and a peacemaker, someone who is compassionate, and someone who blesses others by giving meaningful gifts.
Dell “kind and noble”
This name honors Carrie’s family, which is especially meaningful since she is the last in her line. We also like the literary reference to Della from “The Gift of the Magi,” a favorite Christmas story in which both main characters are sacrificial givers.

I just love BOTH names!!! Hope all is going well!!!
I like the name you picked out and the meaning makes it so special!
Wonderful!
Beautiful names for a beautiful baby. Hope your doing well?
I love it when names are chosen with a special meaning or reason in mind. Natalie is such a sweet little name!
It makes me smile every time I see your daughter's name. I have some friends who are twins named Nathan and Natalie. And they both truly do embody those traits you are praying for in your children.
Rich meaning - may God answer your prayers and bestow upon Natalie all the graces she needs to honor Him in the way you hope she will! "Gift of the Magi" is a great story. :)
My Natalie was not a Christmas baby either. She was born in August. Over 15 years later, I'm still happy with the name choice.
Oh, and one of my nephews is Nathan. Never noticed the similarity between our families before!
What a beautiful name!
Wonderful! I'm a big fan of names with meaning.
Love both names and the traits they represent! Natalie herself is a meaningful gift to our families. :)
Love you, Mom
