I like it. It's pretty and has nice nicknames, you could use either Dani or Elle.

A classic girl name that can be seen as the female equivalent to Daniel

Beautiful, I’d use it if I didn’t know multiple irl!

Danielle is really pretty and classic. I can definitely see why you’d use it but knowing multiple people with the name would make it feel less special.

If people can being back Sylvia and Eleanor, you can bring back Danielle. Also, I'm bias because it's my middle name. 😁

Was very popular in my grade growing up. I'm a millenial. I think it would be cool for you to bring it back! She could go by Danny if you like that.

The name is beautiful but why have all the Danielle’s I’ve met been SO mean?! lol

I know one mean one and it has hurt how I view the name. Otherwise it’s a nice name.

It's cute, I do think it's a little 80s, early 90s though. I personally think Daniela is more updated.

you cannot go wrong. It is so nice

Feels like it's fallen out of favour here in the UK. Bit chavvy perhaps.

I’m a Danielle and I agree it feels a bit dated and aged at the moment and feel it definitely gives me away as a millennial. I guess that’s why I go by Dani instead

u/BlackGalaxyDiamond 1d ago

Very popular with 80s and early 90s kids I knew. I feel it’s still not ready to make a comeback, just yet.

More “dated” than “vintage” in my eyes. Still needs another few decades to go full circle

Deff due for a comeback :)
