Daniel has always been used in a formal application or when you were being yelled at by your parents. Dan was used by most friends and some siblings. The fun name was Danny. This was the name of a carefree kid with no concer's or worries.

My name's Daniel and I don't really like it. I don't like having it, rather. I'd prefer a more unique and meaningful name. People don't name their children Daniel because of its meaning, but rather because of its popularity and tradition. Oh well.

One of my best friends is named Daniel. He is like an older brother, because he always looks out for me and makes sure I'm OK. Once when I fell and hurt myself really bad, he went all berserk at the guy who had hurt me. Then he hugged me and laughed about how I should be more careful.

My brother's name is Daniel and it's a nice name. I agree with Clair that the short form of Dan is awful. My brother shortens it occassionally and it makes my mother cringe but he's 40 so it's up to him I guess. He's always liked his name.

Hello, my name is Daniel, and I'must say I have had a terrible experience with the name. One day, I was walking down'the road, when somebody (sob sob) shouted 'Oi you, whats your name?', to which I responded, 'Its Daniel'. They looked slightly bewildered for a moment, then shouted 'Are you a Spaniel?'. Upon hearing this malicious and viscous insult, I ran very quickly to the town hall to change my name. I now live a very happy life as 'Spaniel Daniels'. Thank you for your time, kind regards, and thought in my time of need. Best wishes, Doggy
