My husband and I want to choose a name with significance to our family. For a boy, we are debating between [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. Any thoughts, unique nicknames or middle name pairings? Also seeking a traditional girls’ name, but the search is wide open at this time. Thanks in advance!

I think of [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] the [name_m]Tiger[/name_m] & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] the Train. 
Oh I love them both!! They both feel sweet and gentle. Such a tough choice, but I think I’m leaning towards the warm and playful [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] 
Daniel and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] are both wonderful! [name_f]My[/name_f] brother is a [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] nn [name_u]Danny[/name_u] so I do like it! I might slightly prefer [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] though.
Middle ideas…
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Evren[/name_u]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] fit with [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].
I like [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]! Though you really can’t go wrong with either name 
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] could be a nickname for [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], at a stretch?
Daniel & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] are both strong classics! [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favorite is [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], but you can’t go wrong with either. 
Would you consider using both? [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] both flow well and sound quite handsome.
For girls, you might like these timeless, traditional names:
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
Both are lovely warm classics, but [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] gets my vote! I think you could use a “B” middle name and get [name_u]Toby[/name_u], or for a completely different style of nickname, maybe [name_m]Moss[/name_m]?

Daniel and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] are both so cool! Very tough choice :). [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was to combine them. [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is gorgeous

I really like [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]! [name_u]Del[/name_u] could be an unexpected nickname
Daniel [name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m]

[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u]
Daniel is my favorite, but [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is also lovely. [name_u]Danny[/name_u] and [name_m]Tom[/name_m] are not unique but are adorable! [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] or [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] would both be lovely classic choices.
Thomas is so cute! I really like it
Girl names based on those:
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
I love both names, but I think I have to vote for [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]!
For unique nicknames, perhaps you would like [name_u]Maz[/name_u]/Mas (depending on how you would like to spell it)
