How about Danette? That's my middle name and my mother chose it because it's a derivative of Daniel. She wanted my brother, sister, and I to all have essentially the same middle name, hence Daniel, Danielle and Danette.


Good luck!

Danine?


Personally, I would use Danielle. It makes a nice middle name and closely honors your father. Danica would be my 2nd choice.

Danielle is sorta passe - was popular in the 70s/80s


Dana - is pronounced with a long A - DAY-na - but I know two girls named Dannah - pronounced like Hannah, but with a D, and I really like that as an alternative


there's also Danica - like the girl race car driver - can also be spelled Danika - I've come across a few girls with that name, my daughter graduated with one, knew a different one as a small child


I've also heard Danae - pronounced Da-NAY - both times I've seen it it was spelled Danae


good luck

Danae is my favorite. Technically, it's supposed to be pronounced dah-nay-e, but I've never heard anyone in real life use that pronunciation and I prefer what I've heard--dah-nay.

I like something as simple as Dani. I prefer Danica over Danae. I also had a friend from college named Danya.
