Great, strong names.

I don't like Samuel. I do like Nicholas and Daniel though. But I think I like Nicholas a bit more.

I know so many Nicholases (sp?) that I'm very tired of it. I would go with Daniel over Nicholas, as you don't hear it as much.

Love Daniel

Nicholas is nice

That sucks about Samuel. Even though Samuel, Daniel & Nicholas are all pretty much equally popular, I find Samuel refreshing and handsome and sweet. But Daniel and Nicholas are just boring and overused imo. My brother's name is Nicholas (he's in his 40s) so that's probably why it's not "fresh" to me, lol. And Daniel used to be a huge favorite of mine, but it's just too popular now (plus I greatly dislike the nn's Dan and Danny).

I love both names. They are great and you should definitely go on with them if you like them. Daniel and Samuel don't seem similar to me (beside the second letter being an a and the ending -el).
I also love the spelling Nicolas.

Nicolas Daniel
Daniel Nicolas

Both combos are great.

I love both. Daniel is lovely and timeless. And Nicholas is great too, unfortunately I hear it a lot around here. I like the spelling Nicolas too, as well as Nikolas.

Go on, be evil and get lazy.

I prefer Daniel, I've always liked that name too. I agree that it's a classic and it also ages well. Nicholas I've never liked, I think it sounds too upper-class and it's just a bit much for me. I prefer just Nick to be honest. I'd definitely go with Daniel though.

They are both nice names even though they're very common. They would make nice names for brothers.

Nicholas and Daniel are terrific together! I really don't care for either of them separately, but I love them together. Just don't make Daniel be a "Danny."

I'm not fond of Daniel but I LOVE Nicholas. I personally prefer the sp. Nicholas, as I tend to pronounce Nicolas as "nee coh lahs".

I love both equally.

I like Daniel best.

I like both names (and only the spelling Nicholas). So, it'd depend upon the middle name choice(s). But, I think Nicholas Daniel flows nicely, as does Samuel Nicholas. Why can't you use Samuel, if you don't mind me asking?

They are both really cute names no matter if they're over used!

---

Daniel is cute but I don't like Dan or Danny as nicknames. I like Niel instead. Try: DEINIOL (Welsh), TANIEL (Armenian), DENIEL (Breton)

---

Nicholas is very nice but what about: MIKOLÁS (Slovak, Czech), NELS (Swedish), NICKOLAUS (German), NICOLAE (Romanian), NILS (Swedish, Norwegian)

---

or my personal favorite: COLIN (Scottish) I love it!

I love both - Daniel is my favourite boys name, as you know :-D, and I've often thought of Nicholas for a boy's middle name in honour of my mother, Nicola. Nicolas is nice too.

I prefer Daniel to Samuel. The "mule" part of Samuel has never really sat well with me. Daniel is so warm and honey-like in my mind. I don't think I've ever met a Dan / Daniel that wasn't a nice guy. (Not that I've ever met a nasty Samuel either.)

I like both Nicholas and Nicolas. I think Nicolas is also the French spelling, as well. I would use the Nicholas spelling, just because it would be easier / less of a hassle.

I like both names. They would make a nice sibset, too.
