Is it permissible to name a girl "Natalie"?
It appears this name is foreign, and one should not name with it unless its meaning is known, as it might contain a bad meaning or a religious slogan. The aforementioned name carries a religious meaning, which is "the day of the birth of the Messiah," and therefore it is not permissible for a Muslim to name with it due to its exclusivity to non-Muslims. It is more appropriate for a Muslim to name with good names whose meanings are known.
