I love it, and Nate and Nathan. DP hates it though so it's never been a goer for me!

DramaAlpaca · 10/03/2015 20:53

Love it.

Pandora37 · 10/03/2015 20:39

Absolutely love it, one of my favourites.

Nocturne123 · 10/03/2015 19:16

I really like it , nn Nate. Not fussed on Nathan for some reason though

Sophronia · 10/03/2015 19:04

Yay, I like Nat.

BikeRunSki · 10/03/2015 19:00

Yay.

stargirl1701 · 10/03/2015 18:57

Love it.

FoodPorn · 10/03/2015 18:55

I have a Nathan. You have excellent taste Grin. It's my favourite boy's name, partly because of the great nicknames.

ch1134 · 10/03/2015 17:53

Bit of a mouthful. But I love Nat.

squoosh · 10/03/2015 17:46

Love it. Good name for a brooding romantic hero.

NadiaWadia · 10/03/2015 16:55

Really nice name, and slightly unusual with a choice of nicknames.

DrEllieSattler · 10/03/2015 16:49

Lovely name! I know a 2 year old Nathaniel, Nate for short!

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 10/03/2015 16:32

My other DS is a Theo - the names do just 'go' together (as well as having similar meanings)

fattymcfatfat · 10/03/2015 16:23

love it. DS2 will be Nathan Smile

madhairday · 10/03/2015 16:20

I have one and he's Nat. (11y)

It's a fab name OP. :)

pilates · 10/03/2015 16:16

Love it, and the nicknames are very nice.

5446 · 10/03/2015 16:10

OhNo, Nathaniel and Theodore are the names of my imaginary sons Grin

Absolutely love it esp nn Nate.

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 10/03/2015 15:29

I have one! And he's gorgeous (not that I'm biased at all, oh no).

There are 2 younger siblings at the boys' school with the same name though, so think it's increasing in popularity.

MsBug · 10/03/2015 15:29

I like it, was on our boy's name list
NN Nate.

A name for a handsome boy! Love it.

roastpots · 10/03/2015 15:21

I like it. I also like Nathan.

Bowlersarm · 10/03/2015 15:17

Yay

Andcake · 10/03/2015 15:15

I love it - but was scared to use it in case a work colleague thought I'd named my child after him!

Guin1 · 10/03/2015 15:12

Love it. It was on my short list. Nn Nathan or Nate or Nat.
