Opinions on Daniel please.

[kateg27]

Baby is due in just under 4 weeks and we're still undecided on a boys name. Just wondering what everyone thinks of the name Daniel. The middle name will definitely be Oliver.
Many thanks

Sooooooooo dull.

[YokoOhNo]

I like it very much. It is quite common, so your DS is unlikely to be the only Daniel, but that's because it is a nice name

[Sinkingfeeling]

I love it, and it doesn't seem common in my dc's school. Lots of Bens, Sams and Toms, but I can only think of one Daniel.

[5inthebed]

I love it, I have one of those :)

[LetThereBeRock]

Love it.

[ragged]

You have good taste, OP I have one, too :).

[Hopintobed]

I love it1 My all time favourite boy's name but it's also my brother's name so we are going to use it as a middle name. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!! I've said this on here before but one person's 'dull' is another person's 'classic'. I'd much rather have a classic name that won't date instead of a bizzare trendy name that people snigger at. I love Daniel. PLEASE USE IT!!!!

[PuppyMonkey]

Boring.

[triskaidekaphile]

A great name.

[AgathaTrunchbull]

Well, at least everyone will be able to spell it!

It's a lovely name (I'm not allowed it, because my husband doesn't think 'Jnr' is a good idea). It is, as noted above, ridiculously common, but at least you have a range of nicknames.

[ragged]

Actually, cough cough, Agatha, DS's name once got spelled "Denial" by a preschool worker (who learnt English as an adult, I suspect).
I thought it was kind of funny, actually.

[pearlgirl]

I love it.

[AgathaTrunchbull]

That's a cracker!

[hiccymapops]

Love it.

[mopsyflopsy]

Very boring and dull, sorry. But thankfully we all have different tastes

[deepfriedcupcake]

Love it. We have one and would also be happy if he shortens it to Dan or Danny when he's older.

[gladyoucame]

I have a Daniel and I also like the shortenings of it too, I know its top 10 but I've not met many others in his age range (3.4) in our area. You've got to say it lots of times a day so go with something you like!

[gladyoucame]

I also have an Oliver so thats a great name too, again 'common' but possibly not in our area in that age range (21 mths).

[AlwaysRocking]

I like it, it's also one of my best friends' favourite boys name so we'll have to see who has a boy first! I think it's more common among my age group than for babies, at least around here.

[BlondeG]

I have one, but tbh it's not my favourite name in the world. OH loved it and I couldn't think of an alternative I liked more.

However we now call him Dan which I love. Much, much prefer and in fact I never, ever, refer to him as Daniel - always Dan, and I correct teachers or other adults who don't call him Dan.

[CODwidow]

I like it

[MrsRhettButler]

I love Daniel

[MustControlFistOfDeath]

Lovely name, it's on the shortlist for DS2 (If there is a DS2)

DP wants the name 'Seweryn' (he is Polish) for DS2, he doesn't realise that is NEVER going to happen

[MissBetsyTrotwood]

I've got one. I've not met any others amongst the DC's peers. Boring is as boring does!

Danny Cipriani was in the news a fair bit when I was pregnant.

Then he was born - that was his name from the off!
