Opinions on Daniel please.

[kateg27]

Baby is due in just under 4 weeks and we're still undecided on a boys name. Just wondering what everyone thinks of the name Daniel. The middle name will definitely be Oliver.
Many thanks

Sooooooooo dull.

I like it very much. It is quite common, so your DS is unlikely to be the only Daniel, but that's because it is a nice name

I love it, and it doesn't seem common in my dc's school. Lots of Bens, Sams and Toms, but I can only think of one Daniel.

I love it, I have one of those :)

Love it.

You have good taste, OP I have one, too :).

I love it1 My all time favourite boy's name but it's also my brother's name so we are going to use it as a middle name. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!! I've said this on here before but one person's 'dull' is another person's 'classic'. I'd much rather have a classic name that won't date instead of a bizzare trendy name that people snigger at. I love Daniel. PLEASE USE IT!!!!

Boring.

A great name.

Well, at least everyone will be able to spell it!

It's a lovely name (I'm not allowed it, because my husband doesn't think 'Jnr' is a good idea). It is, as noted above, ridiculously common, but at least you have a range of nicknames.

Actually, cough cough, Agatha, DS's name once got spelled "Denial" by a preschool worker (who learnt English as an adult, I suspect).
I thought it was kind of funny, actually.

I love it.

That's a cracker!

Love it.

Very boring and dull, sorry. But thankfully we all have different tastes

Love it. We have one and would also be happy if he shortens it to Dan or Danny when he's older.

I have a Daniel and I also like the shortenings of it too, I know its top 10 but I've not met many others in his age range (3.4) in our area. You've got to say it lots of times a day so go with something you like!

I also have an Oliver so thats a great name too, again 'common' but possibly not in our area in that age range (21 mths).

I like it, it's also one of my best friends' favourite boys name so we'll have to see who has a boy first! I think it's more common among my age group than for babies, at least around here.

I have one, but tbh it's not my favourite name in the world. OH loved it and I couldn't think of an alternative I liked more.

However we now call him Dan which I love. Much, much prefer and in fact I never, ever, refer to him as Daniel - always Dan, and I correct teachers or other adults who don't call him Dan.

I like it

I love Daniel

Lovely name, it's on the shortlist for DS2 (If there is a DS2)

DP wants the name 'Seweryn' (he is Polish) for DS2, he doesn't realise that is NEVER going to happen

I've got one. I've not met any others amongst the DC's peers. Boring is as boring does!

Danny Cipriani was in the news a fair bit when I was pregnant.

Then he was born - that was his name from the off!
