I'm stuck: Daniel Gray or Daniel Hill

I’m looking to change my last name…

I’m hearing people say that they like [name_u]Gray[/name_u] better, but I can’t put a first impression on [name_u]Gray[/name_u].

Upon seeing these two names, what kind of people do you envisage? (I.e. Occupation, personality, etc)

I have no preference either way, I think there are benefits to each name.

I’d say a [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Hill[/name_m] is likely to have it all together. Because [name_m]Hill[/name_m] takes up less space and is comprised of so many vertical lines, it seems more formal and reserved. I like that but it’s sort of an “under the radar” kind of name.

Now, [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is a bit more “round” and takes up more space. Because of that I’d say a [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] might be more outgoing and a bit carefree. It does stand out more and seem more balanced when written which may be important depending on your career.
