I like this very very much... as a middle name only! It would be extremely strange as a first name, it would most likely made fun of. I do like the sound and the meaning is great, especially because it reminds me of where I grew up, a place with some of the oldest/largest trees in the world. Nathanael Elwood would sound good with my last name!

This is my husband's name and while a bit biased, I love it! It is classic and dignified, not at all trendy.
