[Opinions] Re: Danielle for a boy?
in reply to a message by Flutterbye
It is feminine, but I sort of think it can work though. Daniella to me would be going a bit too far, but Danielle seems okay.
I see what some people are saying about Daniel, but the thing is, having named your first son Carol, he will now wonder why you gave your second son a more regular boy name (I mean you could have put Carol as a mn to honor your husband's grandfather). So, I think you should tend towards a softer first name for your second son too, something that is unisex. Personally, I still think Danielle could be okay in this instance.
Edit: I agree with some of the others posting here though. You could spell it Daniel but pronounce it Danielle which is a bit more like the French pronounciation, but then he will have to correct them all the time too.
