I used to love Nat as a nn for Nathaniel for a boy, but I don't like Nate/Nathan very much (which seem to be more common nn's for it) and then Nathaniel has gotten much more popular lately, too. :-/ That and I've met a lot of Natalies over the years, incl. a couple I'm not terribly fond of. :b

Yes, I think Nat should be a nn, but I wouldn't use a name you didn't like just so you could use the nn Nat. If you LOVE Nat, then just name him Nat, in that case.

Some suggestions for names Nat could be a nn for:
Natan
Anatole
Anatoli
Donatello
Donatien
Ignatius (in a round about way...)
Jonathan - though this is very popular, too
Ionatan - no clue on pronunciation, though
Renato
Renatus
Thanatos
Yonatan
