[Opinions] Re: Nathaniel
in reply to a message by Array
Well simply to answer your questions, I loathe Nate as well, but Nat is kind of cute (as well as Natty).
As for as Nate being too strong, I really dont know why you would think that would have a problem. Personally, its what the parents choose becomes the ultimate nn. I personally hate Kristi, and thats what most people call me because its what I've been called by my family all my life. I never really liked it, but couldnt get them to stop, and I just gave up fighting it. If you call your son Nat, he will be known as Nat. In school, in my experience, teachers ask if you go by your full name or have a nn. They may ask if he prefers Nate, but he could correct them and say Nat...its not that big of a deal. I hope that makes sense. Simply stated, dont worry about Nate being more popular. Its like someone named Thomas going by Tommy instead of Tom kind of thing.
