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

pictish · 01/02/2015 18:09

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

livsmum4 · 01/02/2015 18:10

I'm undecided. I quite like it but never heard of it before and sometime I'm naive to what people Wud associate diff names with like on a TV program or something Iv missed lol

I like it, and I like Nate for short.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 01/02/2015 18:11

I quite like it, Nat or Nate as a nickname.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 01/02/2015 18:11

Reminded me of Jo's Boys Smile

pictish · 01/02/2015 18:12

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

SlinkyB · 01/02/2015 18:12

Love it.

livsmum4 · 01/02/2015 18:13

I really like Nate as a nn.

Whats Jo's boys?? Smile

I like it, and Nate is a great short name for it.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 01/02/2015 18:27

A book... One of the sequels to Little Women Smile

Racheyg · 01/02/2015 20:18

I wanted Nathaniel for my soon to be ds2 but oh didn't like it. So we have picked Jude.

Sophronia · 01/02/2015 20:39

I like it.

montyandmabel · 01/02/2015 20:48

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

Only1scoop · 01/02/2015 20:49

I've never liked it.

Pandora37 · 01/02/2015 21:05

I love it and it would be one of my top choices if I ever have a son.

CPtart · 01/02/2015 21:19

Bit of a mouthful and detest Nate.

sebsmummy1 · 01/02/2015 21:20

It's on my list so I say, yay!

anothernumberone · 01/02/2015 21:22

I love it. I worked with one, he was really lovely.

TheTravellingLemon · 01/02/2015 21:24

Love it. Love the nn Nat.

trainersandcake · 01/02/2015 21:27

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

stickygotstuck · 01/02/2015 21:29

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.

Fuckmath · 01/02/2015 21:44

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...

AmysTiara · 01/02/2015 21:47

I like Nate too

ZenNudist · 01/02/2015 21:55

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.
