Choose the one that goes best with the surname.
I also like Michael, Peter, John and Paul.

If you choose Daniel or Jacob , bear in mind that they will be Dan or Jake.

Richard, as it seems more unusual.

I'd choose James, but it is always popular.
Jacob and Daniel are fine, but I wouldn't use them.

In your list I only really like James sorry. How about maybe Michael, Andrew, Peter, John or Paul?

Daniel was top of our list but in the weeks before giving birth the weirdo/psycho in every drama was called Daniel. A couple of years later worked with two Daniel’s both were unbearable knob heads for different reasons so really glad we didn’t go for it.

I am having to stop myself making a juvenile joke about ex boyfriends and "little Richards". For that reason, I'm out

Daniel James

Don’t like James as a first name really but it’s a great middle name. I like Richard but not the inevitable shortenings

Richard. I haven't met a little Richard in ages

Love Daniel

Daniel wins. Lovely classic name, quite unusual at the moment.

James is a great name, perennially popular for good reason.

Personally don't like Jacob, neither the sound nor the strong biblical associations.

Richard is ok, but don't like any of the shortenings, don't really like the sound of it. Still feels fusty to me.
