It is weird because the name means born on Christmas but I was born in July. My least favorite nicknames for Natalie are G-nat, Gnat, and Nattiecakes. In 5th grade I eas doing something on the board and it was timed but when I finished I had just enough time to write Nat and couldn't finish, my teacher always joked with me and wrote G in front of Nat. All the idiots in my class thought the g was said aloud so they either call me gnat with a hard g or G-nat. One of my friends also said nats and someone thought it was nuts. I still love my name in spite of the nicknames.
