That's it really. Just had to air my thoughts as the name seems so popular on here at the moment.

We have a child where I work who is called Nathanuel. Spelled like that (it's not a typo).

The child gets most uppity if it is spelled or said wrongly, but it's hard to accommodate every parental spelling mistake.

Nathaniel is a lovely name.

I think everybody has a few names that they find irritating for no particular reason. Nathaniel doesn't bother me and I quite like the nickname Nate. James and Thomas however - my heart sinks a little bit when I hear someone suggests them on a name thread.

I don't particularly like Nathaniel but of course there will be people who don't like a name. No name is loved by all, thankfully.

No, but I find deliberately obnoxious posts about names highly irritating!

No, I like it. We all have different tastes though - I dislike a few of the names which are currently popular on MN too.

You are strange.

Ha ha, yes but only because the Nat I know is the biggest nob jockey imaginable.
