The rating options are skewed with racial bias. What is an Urban sounding name? What is an upper class sounding name? The answer to the last question is white names. Historically white and christian sounding names have belonged to white people with power who got their power by oppressing BIPOC people. That's why today black people experience discrimination based off their « urban » names.

A very handsome, powerful name. I think the nickname Nate ruins the strong, handsome Nathanael though. In my opinion, I prefer Nathanael to Nathanial because Nathanael looks more natural to me and more strong.
Hebrew names with the same meaning include Netanyahu and Yonatan. In modern Hebrew, the "th" sound is usually pronounced "t". Some Aramaic dialects continue to use "th".
I plan on, if I ever have a son, naming him this. I think it's strong biblical, and Nathan makes a nice nickname. It's very masculine but works for a child. PERFECT!
Famous bearer - Nathanael Greene, a major general of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War. Greene was one of Washington's most trusted generals.
I really love this name, and it's one of the names I know I want to give to my son. Also, I like this so much better than Nathaniel. I don't know why, but the "i" really bothers me.

This isn't the most common spelling of this name but I like the biblical reference to it.

You have the vowels on the Hebrew mistaken. As you wrote it, it would be NatanAl, instead of NatanEl (Sorry I can't show you as I don't have the Hebrew vowels on this computer).
