I have a James (so I'm biased) and he's one of 4 or 5 in his whole elementary school (no others in his grade). I can't think of any Daniels in his school at all. (The only boy name that there are multiples per grade is Max.)
No one ever shortens his name either. Not so say it will never happen, but it's not automatic like some names seems to be. I think the one syllable thing cuts some of it off.

I think I know more young James’ than Daniels, but I wouldn’t say either one is overused around here.
Think about inevitable nicknames- Jim/Jimmy/Jamie, vs. Dan/Danny.

Sexy if you like the younger brother type.

Do you like Dan or Jim because people will definitely shorten the name?

I don’t think there is one James in DD’s entire preschool. But yeah, I’m guessing OP knows both are perennial top names.
That must be an anomaly! James is ranked as the popular male name over the last 100 years, and the lowest it's ever been on the SSA list of baby names is 19!

James would sound better with an Italian last name IMO.

We’re stuck. Daniel or James?
Three syllable last name of Italian origin but we aren’t connected to Italian heritage.
