I ask as my son is called Daniel and my husband keeps pointing out that it's often a chavkid name. I love it and always have. I wanted a baby boy called Daniel since I was a kid myself and don't really care what DH says but thought I would canvas opinion...

Daniel is an everyman name.

No, it's lovely. Would have used it myself except it didn't work with surname.

I don't think so. It was popular so it'll be found everywhere though.

Daniel Craig is a pretty impressive Daniel example.

We know loads of Daniels at private schools, if you don't mind measuring it that way. Not 'chavvy' at all.

I certainly hope not as my DS is called Daniel! I do think it is a very common (in the sense of popular) name, when DS was little, there was 3 other Daniels in our play group, and all 4 were of different nationalities.

I always thought of Daniel of a name with few connotations, positive or negative. My sister's first boy friend was called Daneil, he was the first I had met with that name.

No it isn't. It's a lovely classic name and doesn't date. Dan, Danny, Daniel, plenty of options. I like it
