Can we do this? Or is it like calling your child Chardonnay? I don't even like the drink! But want middle name to be Daniel for family reasons.

Any other suggestions greatly recieved! Boys names are difficult!

Oh dear this is what I thought! Was very against it at the beginning but as getting closer with still no boys name thought I would ask a wider audience.

I love the name Daniel but can't have as first name.

It's a no from me. Sorry.

chipsnmayo · 17/01/2017 04:28

Nope!

Even Daniel Jack is probably pushing it TBH .

I would also consider putting an extra middle name in between the Jack and Daniel

Jack Daniel's name was actually Jasper Newton Daniel.

He was a very interesting man. He left home at the age of 6 due to not getting on with his stepmother. He moved in with a pastor who taught him how to make whisky at the age of 7. He started his distillery when he was 13. When he was 16 the distillery was made official with the US government. His modus operandi for the distillery was 'Every day that we make it, we'll make it the best we can' so he was ahead of his time for quality assurance and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky is made pretty much exactly the same way he made it over a century later. He died at a fairly young age due to getting gangrene in his foot after kicking his office safe in a fit of temper.

I would not consider him 'low rent' but I guess there are enough people out there who do to make the name not the greatest idea.

No no NO. It sounds and looks very low rent.

LexieLulu · 16/01/2017 23:58

Daniel is a beautiful name, would you not consider it for their first name?

I find J names a bit overused (I don't want to say common in case that is taken wrong).

MollyHuaCha · 16/01/2017 23:56

No!

BlueberryGateaux · 16/01/2017 23:55

Its a NO from me.

Reality16 · 16/01/2017 23:54

No

DramaAlpaca · 16/01/2017 23:53

I wouldn't. Sorry.

Crumbs1 · 16/01/2017 23:52

Or maybe Blair Athol or Glen Gordon? Johnny Walker?

Daniel Jack? James Daniel? Jacob Daniel? All diminutives of John.

Just not Jack Daniels, poor boy.

Muddlingalongalone · 16/01/2017 23:46

Both nice names, Daniel in particular but tbh I wouldn't put them together. Could you reverse them?

pullingmyhairout1 · 16/01/2017 23:42

Nothing wrong with it. How often do people call anyone by their first and middle names anyway?

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 16/01/2017 23:41

It is marginally better than Captain Morgan.

put another name in between Jack and Daniel
