I like the name Nathan, and I also like Nate. Usually I'm particular about a lot of names because I don't like their shortened form and i wouldn't want my kid to be called something I don't like haha...
Like I like the name James but I don't like Jim. And it would annoy me if I had a boy and named him James and then EVERYONE called him Jim or Jimmy. Me no likey.
heh me and reaferoonie just had a convo about this actually
