Personal experiences with the name Daniel

This is my last name, and so many people mix up my first and last names--which, seeing as I'm a girl, is very strange.

I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with this name, but it's SO popular I just get sick of hearing it. I know at least a dozen different Daniels. I'd suggest naming your kid something more original.
