Danny, for a baby boy? What do we think? The name has lots of personal meaning for both me and my partner.

Danny is my favourite male name! I even like it for a girl too..

Short for Daniel then yes, v nice

Not as a full name

Daniel is better, then he can choose whether he shortens it or not. You are choosing a name not just for a baby but, hopefully, an adult.

Yes

Lovely name Daniel is my DS2 middle name and I'd put that on the BC

Love Daniel. Danny as a possible nn, not a full name.

It feels quite dated. I would put Danny in the same bracket as Robbie, Gary, Kev, Tony and Scott.

Daniel is nice, classic.

This.

You can go with Danny or any shortening on the birth certificate. You don't have necessary name a child using a full name if you don't intent to use it as actual name.

Daniel is handsome and Dan and Danny are fine nick names.
I would never put Danny on the BC as it gives your son little choice to be formal should he wish to be.

We have a Danny - not Daniel - in my close family. Love it. He’s Danny or sometimes Dan.

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 03/07/2023 11:01

Daniel, please, known as Danny. Otherwise lovely.

wingsofabird · 03/07/2023 18:22

A great name
one of my favourites

Summerscoming23 · 03/07/2023 18:25

I know a few Danny's who are christened Danny,on their birth certificate etc

Roselilly36 · 03/07/2023 19:09

Love Daniel, and Dan, not keen in Danny tbh.

Sealover123 · 04/07/2023 21:22

Agree with Daniel on the BC and call him Danny day-to-day. Daniel gives him more options as he grows up
