this name i picked by a movie but after the c section & the problems i could have during the surgery when i found the meeening of this name i knew my baby was a miracle.

my son was born three months early, he didnt have to be on any machiences he survived when the doctors told me he wasn't he's three years old with no health problems today, he truely was A GIFT FROM GOD thank you Lord

The name of the most beautiful loving man I have ever met will be my husband one day and his name is Nathanael.

My husband and I have been trying so hard for a baby and could never get pregnant, we then decided to put all our trust in GOD and stopped trying and then we found out we were pregnant! If it's a boy we decided on the name Nathan, I was amazed to find out the meaning..I know now that this baby is a gift from GOD and if it's a boy his name will for sure be Nathan!

My son is 2 years old now. When he was born he was two months early and had many complications, but he is healthy and happy now. He has truley made my life great and is a true gift from god.

i wasnt supposed to continue this 2nd baby coz i just gave birth thru CS a year earlier.. i took lots of abortive pills and i even had chicken pox and chronic UTI which can both affect me and my baby badly.. i really thought something bad will happen to my baby boy but when he came out- he is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen. its truly a miracle. thank u God

My husband and I are trying to have a baby, and if God grant our prayers we will name him Nathan. b/c is a wonderful gift from God.

really dont like this name i know a few people with kids named nathan n i really dont like it, you cant pick a name based on meaning alone

My husband and I went to visit his grandmother 4.5 years ago and on that day she asked me when will we have a baby I told her we were not ready financialy she told me she would help, sadly she passed away that day. I was on the pill for years and 1 year after her death I found out I was preggies. She was the most wonderful person I have ever met in my life and she was so close to God in her life. I still think she pulled a few strings where she is and today smiling down on us as we have the most beautiful son whom we named Nathan he is our little gift from God. I think a person should name a baby not only on meaning and the name, but that has a story behind.

We have a 3yo Nathan. I think it's a great alternative to the more popular Ethan (which had been our first choice until 3 people we knew decided to name their baby's Ethan).

We also have a Jacob, Benjamin, and an upcoming Caleb (I love hearing sibling name combos!).

i wish there was a better reason for my name after reading your stories but i only got named nathan after nathan buckly the collingwood football player

My Nathan James is 12, I named him "Nathan" because it was the first name my husband and I agreed on! But he is a gift from God, born 12/29!

My husband and I are choosing this name if we have a baby boy because we miscarried the first time I believe that the baby we lost asked God to grant us a child and after going through infertility we finally got pregnant and this is truely a miracle baby from God!

love the name, pretty sure I'll be using it within my future son's name somehow.

yep im the same miscarried first time round and pray everyday that this baby would be ok, did not know the meaning of nathan til after we named him. but truely believe he a gift from god.
