Help i have danielle as a name and no back up what do you think of danielle

A bit dated, I know one in her twenties.

Dated but sweet

Nothing wrong with it...but I’m not keen.

I went to school with a Danielle and thought it sounded fancy when I was little. Nice name

It’s lovely as it’s whole name but I don’t like it shortened to Dani.

Was it something else beginning with D you were looking for or was it the Elle bit?

Danielle is fine. Very nice. To a woman, they all used Dani as a NN. It's fallen out of fashion in recent years, but the only important thing is that you and anyone whose opinion you value like the name.

Nothing wrong with it. I don't like the abbreviation to Dani though.

It is a short enough name that you don't have to accept a NN

Very 1980s.

Dated. However that can also be a good think. She'll probably be the only one in her class at least.

I don’t mind it. Do you like longer names? How about Clementine (Clemmie), Margaret (Maggie) or Roxanna/Roxanne (Roxy)?

It's not the classiest of names (sorry) and it's very 80s, but it's not awful.

Very 1980s. Daniela might be more current.

I think it's a good name! Very 80's but that is to my style and taste. It's actually a very classic feminization of Daniel, just like Charlotte and Georgia but not as popular. The only thing that would put me off is it's very long!

I really dislike it. The Danielles I know are in their 20s-30s. It’s very dated.

I prefer Daniela and don't mind the nn Dani

If it's the 'elle' you like, what about Gabrielle?

A bit downmarket as they say on MN.

I'm not opposed to 'dated' names. I actually love loads of names that were popular in the 80s, think Rachel, Natalie, Laura, Rebecca, Jessica etc. I don't dislike it but I don't love it either. It's ok.

I like that it will be very unusual among this generation of kids, while still being a recognisable name that people should know how to spell, pronounce etc. It's a sweet name, all in all.

I think people place too much emphasis on datedness, personally.

Gabrielle is a lot nicer, as pp suggested.

I know one (in her 20's) and it's not shortened to Dani. It's an okay name and nice to have something a bit different.

I really like it. We had a Danielle at school a couple of years ago and she was a lovely girl, so I'm biased. I think it's a lovely, classic name though

Very 80s so a bit dated for my taste.

I find it dated and not so keen anyway. I do think Daniela is lovely though and feels more current.

I really like it. You don’t hear it much anymore
