I think it sounds kind of nerdy.I met one earlier this year through online gaming. He's French (he told me his name is really trendy in France). He's 19 (Nolan was #227 in France the year he was born).
It's okay. It always makes me think of the baseball pitcher NolanRyan. My sister has a friend who has twin sons named Nolan and Patrick. I always want to call them Nolan and Ryan, lol.
Love it!Nolan sounds so handsome and dignified. Also, it's a wonderful, underused classic name. A nice alternative to the commonly used, Noah (though I find that name nice as well) Nolan has to be among my top 20-25 top boy names.
