I prefer Daniel.

LolaStarr · 07/08/2016 17:00

Both lovely names! I prefer Samuel

Daniel

Daniel

dementedma · 07/08/2016 17:05

Samuel. And don't shorten it.

Boogers · 07/08/2016 17:09

I love them both and if we had another boy they would be the two names I'd be choosing from. Are either of them family names?

Lweji · 07/08/2016 17:10

I prefer Daniel.

Dogolphin · 07/08/2016 17:40

Daniel.

ProbablyMe · 07/08/2016 17:41

Samuel - I may be biased though as I have one.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 07/08/2016 17:46

Daniel as I prefer Dan/Danny and also there were 4 Sams in my class at school (and 4 Bens) so for me Sam will forever feel overused.

Ijustworkhere · 07/08/2016 17:50

Samuel. Though also biased for same reason as probably Smile

CPtart · 07/08/2016 18:04

Daniel.

MrsGsnow18 · 07/08/2016 19:23

Both lovely names with nice NN options.
I know less Daniels so I'd sway towards Daniel.

PotteringAlong · 07/08/2016 19:25

Samuel - I also have one Grin. We don't shorten his name

NameChange30 · 07/08/2016 19:30

Both names are lovely. Maybe pick the less common name?

Eva50 · 07/08/2016 19:49

Samuel. I only know one and I know lots of Daniels.

NoCapes · 07/08/2016 19:50

Samuel

Really really dislike Daniel

gunsandbanjos · 08/08/2016 20:25

Samuel, though I like Daniel too.

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 08/08/2016 20:40

Samuel

Twoseventhsaweasley · 08/08/2016 22:37

Definitely Daniel. It is the best boy's name ever.

Scuttle22 · 08/08/2016 22:46

Daniel. But I always sing the Elton John song when I hear it. Grin Don't like Samuel as it always sounds like the child has been naughty when they are called by the full name.

milkysmum · 08/08/2016 22:48

Samuel ( have one age 5) both lovely though

headinhands · 08/08/2016 22:51

Samuel. Too many Danny's about.

ButteredToastAndStrawberryJam · 08/08/2016 22:56

Always liked Daniel.
