Is Nathan one of those names that is gaining in popularity lately? I love this name, it is one of our two top choices if we're having a boy, but I do NOT want my son to be one of three or four Nathans in his grade... I've seen it on several lists lately.

It seems like it's getting harder and harder to find names I like that haven't become trendy and over-used.

I also really like Gavin and Zachary.

Nathan jumped up to trendy 20 years ago and hasn't gone down since.

Guess I'm just out of the loop. I hadn't noticed it around til I started liking it. I suppose it just goes that way. I knew it was trendy in the 80s and early 90s but STILL?! lol, oh well...I still love it.

I read Ethaniel as Ethanol to begin with. Whoops.

Meh.

I like Parker (I think - I'm mixed on those er names), Jacob, Ethan (I'm just going to ignore that -iel part), Nathan, and Alyssa/Elissa.

I don't like Mayson (Mason) in general, but I think it's especially awful on a girl. :(

I like...Alexander. It's my brother's name though, so I'd never use it.

I only like Alexander. And I would never use it.
