I like David better! Not a fan of Daniel!

I like David better but it's a family name for me, which means I'd pick Daniel.

I think both names are very strong and classic. Timeless masculine names would describe them well. I do prefer David though, as I had an “adopted grandfather” growing up whose name was David and I hold very fond memories of him and his beautiful wife, who I was named after.

I don't dislike Daniel, but the "nyel" part sounds a little slimy and the "a" is an annoying diphthong in my accent.
David sounds cleaner and more honest, and I like the v sound.

BUT I like Dan better than Dave. Even though both are boring.

I’m going to say David, but they are both pretty boring (not that they’re bad).

Daniel. I just like everything about it more. I like the nickname Danny too. It’s one of my favorite normie boys’ names.

David

David for me

How interesting, I've never compared these two. It seems they are in the same league.
But if I am to choose, let it be Daniel too.

Daniel, David I've always found so boring, like a middle aged tax attorney. Daniel is full of youth, but a little wishy-washy.

David, it just sounds better.

David comes across as elderly and boring. I also dislike the nicknames Dave & Davy.

Daniel is better of the two, although I too find it boring. I do love the nickname Danny (mainly because he was the cutest guy in my class haha).

Daniel, but I like both. Although both are family names, Daniel has more sentimental meaning for me. That's probably the primary reason.

Daniel

My birth surname is a form of David, and I liked it enough to use it as my son's mn. I also like Daniel, but not as much.
