Comment left Aug 21, 2008: "i called my son nathan, we shorten it to nath - dog... personally i love the name.. now he couldnt be anything else." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 21, 2008: "I actually like the name Nathan and although it's not too unusual it's also not the most common name! If you don't like crazy names but think the names Tom, Sam etc are too common then I think Nathan is a safe bet." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 26, 2008: "This name has always sounded friendly to me. The boys and men I've known named Nathan have been kind. My name is Melissa, but my mom chose Nathan as my name if I had been a boy." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 15, 2008: "Well im awesome and my name is nathan.. so it must be an awesome name." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Feb 25, 2008: "aww my baby cousin is named nathan but we call him nate for short and i absolutley adore him and he so freakin cute" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 24, 2008: "This is my son's name. I wanted something easy to pronouce, easy to spell, and not the most popular name out there. Everyone assums he goes by Nate though!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 29, 2007: "My son was also born in 2003 and we had the same thing happen that we didn't know how popular it was going to be! We still love it though, I often call him "Nathe" where I would assume most people would say "Nate" The other name we were considering at the time was Nolan :-)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 28, 2007: "I named my son Nathan in 2003 because I had never met one and I thought it was traditional and safe. Turns out, there were 3 other Nathans born in that hospital on that day. Guess I should have checked popularity charts first.
On the bright side, most Nathans are actually Nathanials, I know this because everyone calls my son Nathanial, and that's not his name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 24, 2007: "My name is Nathan I was born in 1976. I would have rather it been Nathaniel. Nathaniel has a better "ring" to it. Nathan and Nathaniel always get shortened to "Nate" anyway." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 29, 2007: "My names Nathan!!! And i don't get beat up. so that is good." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 27, 2007: "Born in the fifties, I was always the only one in my school named Nathan. Bullies wanted to beat me up for being Nathan. 5 guys named Chris one Nathan. I was different. Now everywhere I go I hear Naaathen! followed by a yuppie mom chasing a three year old." (Report as inappropriate)
