Honestly asking for a friend...

Who wants to know if Danielle is ready for a comeback. I'm undecided. What do you think?

No. It immediately makes me think of Danielle Lloyd. Also, really sounds dated to my ear.

Agree with PP

I’ve always liked it

No. It's a very pretty name, but it's so dated. I don't think it's ready for a comeback just yet. On the plus side she'd be the only one in her class, so that's a positive.

No. Daniela is good though.

Umm, nope from me too. Daniella is ok nn Ella..?

I like it.

I like it too

I like it

I'm not keen ... and hate those who lazily pronounce it Dan-yell

I prefer Daniella

I like it.

I know a 21 yr old Danielle. Love it
However, her dad says Danny Elle and her mum Dan yell

I’ve never really known how to pronounce it! Danni-ell or Dan-yell? Either way I’m not sure I like it. Dani for a girl is cute tho!

I've never known a nice Danielle. Actually I do know one nice girl but she goes by Dani. Really don't like Danielle though!

But Dan-yell IS the correct pronunciation. French name, french sound.

I really like it, always have. Think Elle is lovely as an nn. But also Dani too, lots of choice

Yes it’s nice and refreshing

Daniella would fit in better with all the Isabellas and Lily-Ellas. The Ella sound is still fairly on trend.

I think it is a perfectly reasonable name. There is nothing wrong with it and tbh I've found many names that I like a lot less.

No

I don’t especially like it but I don’t think it would stand out like a sore thumb

I know this is an awful thing to say and I hate myself for even thinking it but I would assume the family was a bit C word - please don’t attack me as I know this is a horrid and snobby reaction but I think many will have the same (unwanted) gut feeling/ reaction so wanted to let @Tillygetsit know.

I read an article yesterday saying it was a name "becoming extinct". A lot of the other names on the list were 90s girls' names that went from very popular top 20 or 30 type names to only 3 or fewer girls a year being called the name.
I'd be very very very surprised it if revived in the next 15 years. To stereotype massively but the hipsters won't go for it, the middle classes will see it as dated, the working classes prefer names ending in "ie" and young mums will see it as "their generation" not their baby's generation. For me that's a good reason to use it. It's nice.

Dani is nice name for girl! I met only very few girls with this name

I really like it
