What are your thoughts on Nathaniel. I don't think I'd shorten it but know many would probably shorten it to Nate and I'm ok with Nate

I like it a lot. It's soft and strong at the same time, with lots of history. Nate is nms. Love the suggestion of Thane for a nickname.

I like Nathaniel. I would probably prefer Nathan, though and he would go by Ned because there is a Nate in the family.

I like that its soft. A lot of softer boy names feel whiny, but I don't get that from Nathaniel. I think it sounds wonderful with Patience also.

I prefer Nathan. Nate is okay, but I don't like Nat for boys. I don't love it for girls either, as Talia, Tallie and Tasha work better for Natalia, Natalie and Natasha. I like Nathaniel, but love Nathan.

I like it. I know one who goes by Nat / Natty, and one who is just Nathaniel.

I think Nathaniel is very handsome. Not a big fan of Nate though.

I think it is one of the more beautiful male names. I would readily use it as a middle name.

I like it, but I don't like any of it's nicknames. I think Thane is my favorite nickname though.

I love Nathaniel. It's one of my favorite boy names and I'd seriously consider using it. Nate is a cute nickname, though I prefer Nathan.
