- Personal experiences with the name Daynan
We wanted to find that perfect name (as every parent does), but we did not feel that the names offered in the books were right. We wanted something along the line of Damian, or Damon but wanted a fresher approach to those fairly traditional names.
We feel the feedback from our son’s name is positive. There are some people who don’t get the pronunciation correct, but most have expressed a like to the unique yet simple name.
