what do you think of Daniel, my concern is he will go to school with 10 other Daniels....

it's very dear to me this name and it really is a lovely name.
classic, but it can be shortened to suit the man he becomes (dan or danny)

great choice

Like it but lots where I am (Scotland) - two in my 6 year olds class, 2 in year above etc. Like Dan and Danny as nn.

lovely name I have a 4yr old Daniel and he is the only one in his nursery class. Love the nicknames as well but haven't started using one yet as Daniel seems just right not too short but not too long. At least he will have options when he is older to use Dan or Danny if he wants.

Possibly the dullest boy#s name going-jostling for space with Luke and Matthew.

Love it :)

my 5yo is daniel, he is the only one in reception 30 boys.We call him dan,danny or daniel, depending on circumstance.

we have a Daniel. There are 3 in his year of 90 children - probably similar to other names on the popularity front I would think

Luke is pretty cool and Matthew is cool and downright rare :).
I'd put Joshua in the "boring" camp, if I had to.
Jack, Joshua & Alexander all more common than Daniel in our experience.
Funny the poster who said she couldn't call her DS Daniel because her step-brother was called that... my step-sis is married to a Daniel but it never Xd my mind when I named DS1.

Step-sis & her husband called their son... Alex :).

I like Daniel! Also Peter. :)

have always really liked it
was very popular for a while
seems a little out of favour currently (I don't know any under 10)
BUT because it's a classic I don't think it's dated IYSWIM
Love Dan and Danny as NNs.

I know a 3 year old and a 4 year old, both called Dan or Daniel. There are zillions In the 25-30s I think, then most people got tired of it.
Most pre-school boys I know have a very limited few names between them -Oliver, Harry/Harrison, Joshua,Charlie. Very little variation.
