Nathaniel! It was on our list too, but we knew one so didn't use it.

Gruffalosfriend · 14/12/2016 15:01

Nathaniel. I don't like Noah at all, sorry.

autumngold6 · 14/12/2016 15:11

I love the name Nathaniel, not keen on Noah.

BabyNumberSix · 14/12/2016 15:16

Noah

I love Nathaniel (and have one!) but if you live in South London be prepared for the fact that he WILL be called Nafanyull by all and sundry. DS was convinced that was his name as it's what his nursery carers called him.

Lots of nickname potential which can be good or bad depending on your outlook!

Nathaniel.

I like Nate or Nat as a nn

newlabelwriter · 14/12/2016 15:23

I love Nathaniel.

Lebkuchenlover · 14/12/2016 15:29

I would shorten to Nathan! I don't like Nat or Nate at all.

CakeRattleandRoll · 14/12/2016 16:28

Nathaniel

Noah has become incredibly popular in the last ten years or so, but both are nice

Which works best with your surname / any potential middle names?

Jooni · 14/12/2016 17:17

Noah is nice but Nathaniel is gorgeous.

Sophronia · 14/12/2016 17:26

Nathaniel. Noah is so popular.

DramaAlpaca · 14/12/2016 22:06

Nathaniel is lovely.

I really dislike Noah.

BayaGoji · 14/12/2016 22:29

Nathaniel!!

Chocolou · 14/12/2016 22:34

I can't stand Nathaniel. But that's because I know one and he's a rude better than you boy.

Love Noah and know a couple of lovely ones.

swimmerforlife · 14/12/2016 22:52

Nathaniel defiantly, lovely name with good nickname potential.

If we ever have another son, it would be called Nathaniel.

Thingvellir · 14/12/2016 23:09

I love both but Nathaniel (nn Nate) is a bit less popular so I'd go for that. However I suspect it's a name that's gathering speed at the moment so you might find it gets s lot more common in the next year or so. (I found this with DDs name, was relatively unusual when I chose it, now they are everywhere)

BikeRunSki · 14/12/2016 23:11

I like them both, but prefer Nathaniel.

Rinmybell · 15/12/2016 23:05

Love both. One is a sons first name, the other is my others sons middle name 😊
Seriously don't understand how anyone can dislike either!!

1horatio · 15/12/2016 23:35

Nathaniel!
I also like Nathan. And the nn Nate.
