[Opinions] WDYTO Nathan?
My husband likes this names as do many family members (not that family has the final say). I am kinda torn it is not a name I ever thought of using. I have gone through lists and lists I liked Soren, Damien, Gabriel and a few others better. I think Nathan is kinda boring but everyone seems to love it. What do you guys/gals thinks of the name.

I really love it, it's one of my favorites. But if you really can't see yourself using it, you should keep looking.

Hopefully no offence to this will be taken, but Nathan/Nathaniel are both names that I can't stand. They sound whiny to me. They remind me of a snot nosed skinny kid. Sorry sorry....just my opinion
Nathan is an okay name but not my style. I would be more likely to use it as a middle name rather then a first. I think it could go well paired with Garbriel. I agree though that it is sort of boring.

What about Nathaniel or Nethaniel? If you go with Nathaniel, you could call him Nate, Nathan or Thane. If you like any of these nicknames better, you call him what you want and your husband calls him what he wants and everybody is happy. I like the spelling of Nethaniel because you could call him Ethan as well. Ethan means strong. Also, Nathaniel means given by God if you like religious names.
