Danny, for a baby boy? What do we think? The name has lots of personal meaning for both me and my partner.

Such a lovely name.

Lovely name. I know a couple who are Danny on a birth certificate.

cassiatwenty · 24/06/2023 02:52

I like it

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 24/06/2023 02:50

Great name

Love Daniel because I have a Daniel

Danny boy I do agree with past person it does sound abit old unless he's gonna have a middle name that just flows but if it has personal meaning that's all that matters

Gorgeous name - Daniel, Danny, Dan are all great

Makes me think of Grease.

I love Danny. Reminds me of Danny Champion of the World. I would also put Daniel on his birth certificate though, it's nice to leave him with options.

I really like it and don't think it sounds too old or dated! I would put Daniel on the birth cert though.

It feels quite dated. I would put Danny in the same bracket as Robbie, Gary, Kev, Tony and Scott.

Daniel is nice, classic.

Daniel nn Danny, sure.

Danny on the birth certificate no.

PickledScrump · 24/06/2023 00:13

I think it’s fine for a nn for a baby but use Daniel as a full name.

I love the name Daniel.
With one option to call him Danny, for short.

I think it is one of those names that isn't really of any particular era. There have been Daniel's in every generation.

I like it, but don't LOVE it, does it sound too old for a baby?
