I vote for James.

I was going to say Nathan, but then I pictured you at the playground with the boys and yelling out "BenNate" and it would annoy me that they rolled together (if I was their mom). Just pointing it out.

+1 for Nathaniel but call him Nate. It's a hot/cool guy name since Nate Archibold in Gossip Girl (heart eyes).

Could do without Nathan for some reason but that's just me.

These are all classic and I don't think you'd regret any of them. Gregory is a bit less "strong" than the others to my ear.
What sounds best with your last name? What's the middle name?

I like Nathan and Gregory. James and Daniel are just too ubiquitous and boring.

If you yell "JAMES!" at the playground, you will have at least 10 kids turn and look at you.

I vote for Daniel or Gregory. I like Dan/Danny as a nickname better than Greg though. But I think I'd use Daniel as a full name as much as possible.

Sure! It’ll be horrible when Jamie, Jimmy, JayJay and Jim call him Greg.

They're all very nice. I would use James as the middle name. After that, my preference is

Gregory James
Daniel James

Nathan James isn't great. Maybe Gregory Nathan? I think Gregory is a really nice name, and Greg is fine.

James is the most popular of the 4. I like James, and popularity doesn't bother me, but to pick it over Nathan or Daniel because Nathan and Daniel are too common is a little weird.
