Thaniel as a nickname for Nathaniel?

My husband's name is Nathan. I won't get into the reason why, but I don't want to do a junior. So I was considering the name Nathaniel as an alternative but I also don't want to have a lot of name confusion since husband goes by Nate for short. Would Thaniel be a terrible nickname for the baby to go by for short? Has anyone ever heard of it used that way? If it's too weird, I'll obviously go with something else.
