Daniel or Jonathan?

[Dreamcatcher007]

Which of these boy’s names do you prefer?

Daniel. If I'd had another boy it would have been my top choice.

I like Jonathan too, but it's a bit long for me.

Jonathan. It was on my list but dh wasn't sold on it. I think it has a nice beat to it

Daniel

Jonathan Daniel

Daniel

Daniel.

Both lovely names. If pushed, I'd go for Daniel as I also love Dan and Danny, but not so much Jon or Jonny (when you start getting into spelling dilemmas)

Daniel

I prefer John to Jonathan (feels slightly more classic) but out of the 2 names I like Jonathan better than Daniel as I'm the opposite of a pp in that I much prefer Jonny over Dan/Danny!

Daniel but both are good names.

I prefer John to Jonathan too, but I like all three names. Dan is a name in its own right.

Given that you ask which one, I'd say Jonathan, but both are absolutely fine, and would be willing to name a son either.

Daniel

Jonathan - Daniel has been so so so overused in the past. Dans are ten a penny.

Jon, Jonty, Jonny - more nn options, more unusual, lovely name.

Daniel. I wanted to call ds Daniel but dh not keen.

Both lovely. Timeless classics. Daniel has been more popular over the last 40 odd years, but I think the youngest big group of Daniels are probably at uni.

Also Daniel much easier to spell. You’ll get Jonathan, Jonothan, Jonathon and Jonothon. My dd’s name can be spelt in more than one way and it is rubbish when she gets a certificate or something for doing good and it has the wrong name on it.

and Johnathan or Johnathon

My husband is Jonathan and his brother is Daniel so based on that I would say Jonathan I do love the name Daniel though

Daniel
It was the only boys name we wanted. It was decided from when I was 7 months pregnant if we had a boy he would be Daniel

Daniel

I love Daniel. Dd1 would have been Daniel if a boy. Dd2 wouldn't. Different dh who wasnt keen. Good job she was a she. Daniel is such a brilliant name.

Daniel

Ah this was my choice with my last baby! Jonathan all the way!!
(My baby is actually called Daniel... I dearly love that name too, but if husband didn’t have a say he would have been a Jonathan 😁)

Daniel

Daniel was my first choice! Unfortunately it wasn’t my dh’s...
brilliant name.
