I like the combo Nathaniel Jonas. I'd prefer Nathaniel Jonah though, just because I prefer Jonah to Jonas. If I had to choose between Samuel and Nathaniel and I was planning on using the name as a fn, then I'd go with Samuel, but if it was for a mn, then I'd probably go with Nathaniel. Also, I much prefer Nathaniel to Nathanael.

Haha, I like a lot of boys names that end with -el as well. Nathaniel & Gabriel are two favorites. I also love Percival, which has a similar sound. I'm not fond of the Nathanael spelling though.

---

Nathaniel Jonas is nms.

---

As for picking between Samuel & Nathaniel, my personal choice would be Nathaniel, but it would all depend on the middle name you would choose. : )

Nathaniel.

I love Samuel, but prefer Nathaniel. Nathaniel Jonas doesn't flow to me... Nathaniel Jonah does. And yup..Nathanael does look misspelt.

I think Nathaniel Jonas is really really nice, I like it a lot, but I like Jonah better than Jonas.

---

I'd choose Samuel over Nathaniel, -only because I slightly prefer Nathan-, but both are lovely.
I prefer the spelling Nathaniel.

---

Nice names!

I prefer Nathaniel to Nathanael although I can't really say why. If I had to choose between Nathaniel and Samuel I would definitely pick Nathaniel because I've always liked the name and I've never cared for Samuel.

I prefer Nathanael, mostly because it's more unusual. I love the name, and would definitely choose it over Samuel.

Nathaniel Jonas actually sounds better imo than Nathanael Jonas, but I prefer the Hebrew form Nathanael, I'm more used to it (to me it's Nathaniel that looks misspellt). :)

---

I love Samuel though, I plan to use it for my children (on the form Shmuel).

Nathaniel is a great name, but I don't care for Jonas (I think Jonas takes away from the masculinity of Nathaniel).

---

I like both Samuel and Nathaniel. If you're one who is dos not really like common names, then I would say Nathaniel. But, I really like both names, and it depends on the middle name.

---

Nathanael does look odd to me - yes, misspelt. I think it would cause spelling problems in the long run, since people are accustomed to the spelling Nathaniel.

I like this spelling of Nathanael, but Nathaniel is nice too.

---

If I had to choose, I would pick Nathanael over Samuel. But I like the nn Sam much more than the nn Nate or Nathan.

I like Nathaniel Jonas the best. It does sound good. Samuel JOnas would sound good, too. I guess I would have to know your last name to see which sounds the best. Good luck!

I *love* Nathaniel (this spelling)

---

Even though Nathanael is the biblical version it looks a little pagan-like to me with the -ael which isn't my style really

---

Nathaniel Jonas is really great

I really do like Nathaniel much better than Samuel, though I don't like the spelling Nathanael.
The combination Nathaniel Jonas, is ok, but very biblical, which drags the name down a bit.

---

I like both but I would pick Samuel. No real reason other than personal preference. Both are great names in my opinion.

---

I don't like the spelling Nathanael. Even though it is the original, I can't help but think it looks misspelled when I see it.
