Can I use Nathaniel if

Hello everyone! I absolutely adore the name [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] with the nickname [name_m]Nate[/name_m], but can I use it if I have a cousin named [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] (he doesn’t use a nickname) who I see only a few times a year? Thank you in advance!

I don’t think it would be a problem, especially since you are not planning to call him [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]. [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is wonderful.

Yes! I love [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] :slight_smile: I think both the family relationship and the names are distant/different enough.

It’s fine, [name_m]Nate[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] aren’t too close.

Of course you can.
