Re: Like the full name but not the nickname/short name

I agree, I don't like Nat or Nate but I like Nath/Nathe. It really depends on what Nathan ends up prefering though- if he ends up wanting to be called Nate because he prefers it, then that's what you and everyone else should call him. When he's too young to care, I would just call him Nath or Nathan and tell everyone else too as well, but don't make a big deal out of it. You're the person he's going to be around the most, so what you call him is what he'll get used to and probably and up preferring.
