The name......

My new grandson's name is Elijah Nathan Tanner. Adalei chose his name "Elijah" and Brielle agreed. Misty and Nate chose his middle name "Nathan."

"Nathan" comes from the Tanner tradition for the father's name to be a middle name of a son. For example, Rex Tanner had a son Milo Rex; Milo Rex named his son Nathan Milo and now Nathan Milo named his son Elijah Nathan. I had not noticed this before but Misty realized it and told me that's why his middle name would be Nathan. I haven't looked at the family history records to see if it goes further back than Nate's grandfather or not. Misty may know.
