Nathan??? Like the hot dog?
I guess there aren't as many kids to make fun of you when you live in Alaska.
And maybe
Nathan doesn't sound weird when compared to a bunch of those eskimo names.
(I'm sure the name has nothing to do with how great a kid he'll be or how adorably cute he is. And who knows? If he keeps being cute, and grows up in all the right places, maybe his hot dog name will make him popular with the ladies
)
