Wow, that's kind of rude that they tell you they will call him something other than his full name. I don't think they should call him by any nickname unless they are told do so. They shouldn't already be making up nicknames for him before you have decided what you want to call him.
I refuse to believe that nicknames are unavoidable. If you always call him Nathan he won't respond to Nate or Nat because it's simply not his name. I'm sure that there will always be someone who keeps calling him by some nickname but the majority will probably get that his name is Nathan and they will call him Nathan. Just correct people if they call him by some nickname you don't like.
