Hello!
We are having a real dilemma! My husband and I HAD decided on the name Flynn to go with DS1 Sam. All decided and have referred to baby by this name since 20 ish weeks (30 weeks currently). My husband has now decided he loves the name Nate and is considering it! I do like the name and now can't decide! What do people think? Flynn or Nate? Please help!!!

One of my sons is a Flynn. So it's definitely the better name Wink

Nathaniel to be known as Nate was on our list and very near the top. Flynn is too popular for my tastes so I'd go Nate.

I'm not a massive fan of Nathan (but not a massive fan of Samuel either - he's always a Sam!) but Flynn just sounds magical to me. DH worries it will become Finn, I'm worried it's not a 'solid' name.

Stick with Flynn, it's much nicer.

Oh if Nate is a nickname go for it (I have a Nathan, still don't like Nate)

HerRoyalFattyness · 01/06/2017 21:12

I don't like Nate.
Definitely Flynn.

Nate will be a nickname for Nathan - our Sam is a Samuel.

I prefer Flynn. Nate sounds like a nick name

Nate is better as a nickname IMO.
