Help[Opinions] Re: Favourite girls names that don't end in A
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
After a quick search, I am rather surprised to find that Natali and Nelli are also used as Ukrainian names: https://www.behindthename.com/names/browse.php?operator_gender=is&value_gender[]=feminine&operator_usage=is&value_usage[]=ukrainian&operator_end=isnot&value_end[]=a

The only people who use those are weird people. I've never met a Natali or a Nelli. I have seen one Nelli online (and she was Russian) and nobody called Natali. They're mostly used similarly to how for example, Dzhuliya and Dzhon are used-- which is for story characters set in the anglosphere or people from there. Though, I do believe some people in the USSR used western names at times as a tribute to historical figures.
