isn't Cara the usual spelling?

both nice IMO

mrsdisorganised · 21/06/2009 17:07

Like Daniel, not keen on Kara though.

moondog · 21/06/2009 17:08

Daniel is possibly the dullest most bllleeeeughhh name in the world.

janeite · 21/06/2009 17:08

I like Daniel but not Kara.

marcia3381 · 21/06/2009 17:08

Cara is much nicer than Kara....with a K i think of that Kara Tointon off Eastenders who is pretty chavvy looking IMO and that puts me off...Cara is lovely tho. I have a great friend called Cara-Jane who is gorgeous.

boodleboot · 21/06/2009 17:40

Daniel is perfectly acceptable but not very exciting....

MIAonline · 21/06/2009 17:42

Completely agree with the others' it looks so wrong with a K, has to be Cara. It is a lovely name.

Daniel, is just Daniel.

GossipMonger · 21/06/2009 17:44

Daniel is fine and safe and nice but a bit - meh!

Not keen on Kara.

Kiara, Chiara, Caitlin, Kate.......

Disenchanted3 · 21/06/2009 17:45

Very different names,

Cara is nicer than Kara, I like Cara alot.

Daniel is a Dads name. Too old and boring for a baby,

and by boring I mean just 'blurghh' Not even nice and classic, just blurgh.

Boulders · 21/06/2009 17:47

Daniel is lovely. Timeless yet 'with it'. Cara is ok.

marcia3381 · 21/06/2009 18:17

am liking daniel as i like danny for short, warming to cara with a c now

dizzydixies · 21/06/2009 18:48

Daniel is ok and another vote for Cara

ludog · 21/06/2009 20:23

Love Cara but with a "C"

simplesusan · 21/06/2009 20:26

I like Daniel.
agree with everyone else about preferring Cara to Kara.

jellybeans · 21/06/2009 21:10

I love Cara (with a C) and think Daniel is OK, bit boring but much better than some names these days. I like Danny.

Doozle · 21/06/2009 21:12

I love them both.

Daniel is a classic ... lovely name. And I like Kara with a K.

MaggieBeau · 21/06/2009 21:13

AGain, Daniel I like, but Kara with a K looks wrong. Prefer Cara, and I prefer Clara even more.

MaggieBeau · 21/06/2009 21:14

Agree about Kara Tointon. Why several coats of Ronseal?? Tone it down about four shades!!

Paolosgirl · 21/06/2009 21:15

Daniel is a good, strong, solid name that never dates - and Dan is a fairly cool name also. Cara is not spelt with a K - if you do spell it that way it'll look like you simply can't spell.

5inthebed · 21/06/2009 21:16

I have a Daniel. Not a boring name at all.

Thunderduck · 21/06/2009 21:17

I love Daniel.

I love Kara too, but spelled with a C. It doesn't look right with a K.

violethill · 21/06/2009 22:23

Daniel = beautiful

Kara = chav

Cork · 22/06/2009 03:57

Daniel is lovely. Cara much nicer with a C. did you know it is the Irish for friend? x

SesHasFinallyBecomeAMum · 22/06/2009 04:05

Love them both!
