What is a cool nickname for Danny?

Answer 1

Nicknames are often shortened versions that family or friends pick, or that the person prefers. Suggestions of nicknames is difficult, because a "nick" can be totally different from the person's real name, as an example, "Molly" for "Mary".

Here are some nicknames often used in place of Daniel, Danny, or Dan. Note that few are very original; most have been in use a long time.

• Dan
• Dan-O
• Danny boy
• Dan The Man
• Dan Dan
• SuperDan
• Double N

Most people's nicknames have a connection to something personal about them, or is a childhood nick. If it has a connection, it's often about something a person does, or something specific about how the person acts, or relates to a title the person holds - for example, a Captain of firefighters might just be called "Cap".

A teen boy who

• flies model airplanes might be called FlyerD or FlyerDan.
• plays on the Baseball team might have a nick of Runner.
• plays drums or piano really well might be Hands-Dan.

Think carefully before deciding on a nickname. Practice a few nicks out loud at home before choosing one. It's really hard to change a nick once it is used publicly, so be sure you are comfortable with the nickname. Also, think about longevity, meaning, long term. A nickname often sticks with you for your lifetime. You may not want to be a 42-year old "Danny Boy" (except with your wife). Names like "Cap" (for Captain) can "grow" as the person ages.
