• 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.
