   • 1860 Emma V. Hallett, Natalie: A Gem Among the Sea-weeds, W. F. Draper, 1860, page 264:

     - - - often I have listened to my dear brother, as he told me the pretty story of the sad gentleman whom he met, when I was but an infant, and how he spoke to me so tenderly, and sighed for his own Natalie. I had no other name then but Sea-flower, and I have been called by that name ever since; yet after that day, my Christian name was Natalie.

   • 1964 Natalie Robinson Cole, The Arts in the Classroom, The John Day Company, page 129:

     I was ashamed of my very name, Natalie. Nobody else in town had the name Natalie. I wanted to have a name like Frances or Elizabeth, as two of the most popular little girls were named. When old ladies at church would say to me kindly enough,"What's your name, little girl?" I would answer "Natalie," and they would say, "Madaline, Mattie, what did you say?"
