I'm not keen, but it's not my baby. If you like it that's what matters.

P.s I think it's a mouthful that just doesn't roll off the tongue well.

Well I'd not choose the names Nathan or Daniel, so an amalgamation of the two doesn't appeal.

I love the name Nate, but would want to use Nathaniel on the birth certificate I think...

I do like it but just for information there was a Nathaniel as my school who was universally known as Fanny.

I like it.

I know two, one in is 30's and one 5 year old. Both of them are known by the full version. The other 5 year old in his class don't seem to find the length of the name an issue BTW.

Oh I love it! And Nate as well. Really fab name.

I don't have any particular associations. I suppose there is Nate in Gossip Girl, Nate Ruess from the band Fun, Nathaniel Hawthorn...

I have one, nn Nate, so obviously we like it. I know another one the same age (4).

Tbh it's a mouthful to bellow across the playground! It's hard for him to write.
