Nate/ Nathaniel

[Chloerose75]

What do you think of Nate? I really like it but so sure about Nathaniel, is it too biblical or a mouthful?

Love it. I know a young Nate, not short for anything, and it's a fab name. Nathaniel was our top boys name and DD is actually a girls' variant on it!

Love both.

i love it. was on shortlist for our 3 week old who we called matthew. i now hate matthew and nathaniels back on list.

Definitely yes ( got a Nathaniel myself) it isn't just biblical, also literary ; Nathaniel Hawthorne, Nathanael West.... He doesn't like it shortened
