I dislike my first name and the nicknames for it.?

Nate, your name is hebrew, translated to "he gave" ive sern many times where ppl tend to have traits derived from their name without knowing.. Its up to you what you want to be called, but you cant change who you are.. My guess is even if you dont show it you care deeply for those close to you, you are willing to give freely of yourself to help them when needed, sometimes you may feel its your purpose in life.. Nathaniel is a name ive always likef also, it was my best friends name, he died in high school but I still think of him often..
