I like both. My birth ln was Davies, so I used David as my son's first mn. In DH's family, there was a tradition for generations of giving a son an H name with Daniel as the mn, but calling him Dan or Daniel. I prefer Dan to Daniel, so I would have followed that trend, except for the H name, which I couldn't really warm up to. One name from the past that I remember off-hand was Harold Daniel, and I think also Herbert Daniel. I like Hugo, Hugh and Hamish, but not with our ln.
