Looking at the name Nathan...?

My husband and I are expecting our third child in January and are thinking about the name Nathan for our son. Is it on the side of too popular now? What about Nathan Alexander?

Answer:
i think that it's a great name ..my bf and i are expecting anytime now and we are naming our son ethan gabriel .good luck to you!
i like it.all the best with the birth...
I think Nathan Alexander is a beautiful name. I'd go for it. Also, people tend to look at the child after its born.. and can just say.. Yes... Thats a Nathan Alexander. :)
As popular as it may be, I only know of one Nathan.
I think its a very cute name and you should definately use it.
I don't know any Nathan's so no, I don't think it's too popular :-)

I actually like it very much so. Alexander on the other hand is very popular. It's nice with Nathan, but still pretty common. How about:

Nathan Andrew
Nathan Aaron
Nathan Oliver
Nathan Reese
Nathan Elijah
I don't think Nathan is as popular as it used to be. Plus if you live in a smaller town there aren't going to be as many- if any- kids in his class with the same name. But I grew up in a small town and graduated with 5 other Ashleys. If you and your hubby like the name then do it :)
In 2005, Nathan ranked 21st and Alexander ranked 18th of the top baby names in the US. So yes, it is very popular and chances are your son won't be the only Nathan in his class at school.
how about Nathaniel
Nathan is #20 on the ss# list of popular baby names of 2005.
I love the name! I was a teacher before staying home with my son and there was only 1 Nathan in the school so I don't think its that popular. Congratulations on your new baby!!
I love that name..and dont know anyone named Nathan. Good choice.
I love the name Nathan. Nathan Alexander is very nice!! Congrats!!
I like both names , but not together
I think a long name should be followed by a short name

like Nathan James, Nathan John, but he will be your son so you should pick what you like best & not what others want you to pick.

best of luck to you, your hubby & baby
i like that name
They are pretty popular, but if you like it so what. My son has one in his class at school.

I think it sounds ok.
I love the name Nathan! I've heard of boys around here with that name, but not too many for it to be extremely popular to the point I would avoid using it. It's common, but not TOO common, ya know! Go for it! I love it!
