I don’t like either, [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] is too common and basic as you said, I like [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] but theres a singer with that name so it sounds a little too try hard for me. I prefer [name_m]Nate[/name_m] out of all of them though :slight_smile:

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. I think it is stunning and much prefer the sound and look of [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] to [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]. I don’t think it’s too heavy at all, and it makes a really handsome long form for [name_m]Nate[/name_m], which I also really like.

I never usually prefer names in their shorter form, but I voted [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]. [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] feels very nasally and it just doesn’t sit right with me.

My name is [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and I have NEVER liked my name. It lacked uniqueness to me. I went by [name_m]Nate[/name_m] as a kid but as an adult I go by [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]

My little guy is [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. We intended to call him [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], and went back and forth with the same question. Ultimately we call him by his full name and he will have options when he is older (currently 5 months now).
