I like it , I don't like it natty for short though!

OhNoNotMyBaby · 10/03/2015 14:41

Yay

Would have loved a boy who would have been either Nathaniel or Theodore. I think they're elegant and flexible

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 10/03/2015 14:41

Like it. Nat for short.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 10/03/2015 14:42

Or Nate Smile

My ds(16) best friend is a nathaniel but is known as Nathan.

He is a lovely young man with a brilliant sense of humour & a quick wit!

Lovely name. Grin

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

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!

Bowlersarm · 10/03/2015 15:17

Yay

roastpots · 10/03/2015 15:21

I like it. I also like Nathan.

Hadron21 · 10/03/2015 15:21

A name for a handsome boy! Love it.

Reiltin · 10/03/2015 15:25

Wow, 10 for 10. Unheard of, surely?!

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

5446 · 10/03/2015 16:10

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

Absolutely love it esp nn Nate.

pilates · 10/03/2015 16:16

Love it, and the nicknames are very nice.

madhairday · 10/03/2015 16:20

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

It's a fab name OP. :)

fattymcfatfat · 10/03/2015 16:23

love it. DS2 will be Nathan Smile

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 10/03/2015 16:32

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

DrEllieSattler · 10/03/2015 16:49

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

NadiaWadia · 10/03/2015 16:55

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

squoosh · 10/03/2015 17:46

Love it. Good name for a brooding romantic hero.

ch1134 · 10/03/2015 17:53

Bit of a mouthful. But I love Nat.

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.

stargirl1701 · 10/03/2015 18:57

Love it.

BikeRunSki · 10/03/2015 19:00

Yay.
