My brother-in-law’s name is [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], so when I hear that name, I think of him. He’s very smart and has a huge heart, but was a rambunctious child who tended to get in trouble because he made poor decisions (ie lets blow glass bottles up or convince my younger brother to cross the street when we aren’t supposed to…not drugs or any poor decisions like that). He can’t stand to spend more than a couple minutes quietly before he feels the need to do something–play a game, read a book, etc.
I picture almost the complete opposite kind of child when I hear the name [name_m]Nolan[/name_m]. Quiet, maybe a little shy, bookish, smart, and kind.
i prefer [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] to [name_m]Nolan[/name_m]. When I picture [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] I think of a smart outgoing boy; when I think of [name_m]Nolan[/name_m] I think of a more studious child.
I prefer [name_m]Nolan[/name_m] over [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]. [name_m]Nolan[/name_m] makes me think of a really sweet and caring young man. I do really love [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], but not a big fan of [name_m]Nathan[/name_m].
