I love this meme so much and this iteration has tears of laughter rolling down my face thank u.

P.S. so this isn't pointless at the top of the page, I reckon the video is going to have a pretentious/condescending 'what's in a name anyway?' type vibe.

Daniel. How interesting? It is always Dan Howell. Wonder if he will explain it.

Rip Dinof and Pinof

HOLY SHIT I JUST SAW WHAT HAPPENED OMFG WTF IS EVEN HAPPENING

I don't think he has a problem with it, I think he just might appreciate the sophisticated edge Daniel has over Dan

I don't think choosing to use the full name indicates a problem with being called Dan though lmao, maybe he thinks it sounds more professional.

Good point, I didn't think of that

Omg that would be hilarious!
I hope he does talk about why he chose to go with Daniel rather than Dan though. I'm quite intrigued. (Also v relieved that this is DEF not going to be another ISG)

Bekah wrote:I'm going to call it now, Daniel will be temporary.

actually, I think this is very likely. But, you know, as long as he doesn't try to target his marginal straight male audience, I'll be fine.

saffarinda wrote:Someone needs to find that old radio clip of Dan saying "I'm more of a Dan than a Daniel" because that just got 10000% more relevant

Maybe he changed so much that he now feels more like a Daniel than a Dan. Or he just thought it sounded better/more professional.
Still calling him Dan in my head and on here though.

Phandom members on IDB: All i can say is that you are on an absolute roll this year with your predictions....

I will miss danisnotonfire and I really, really hope that Daniel is shortened down to Dan again soon.
Honestly, Daniel will take some getting used to...

+1 for was not expecting Daniel. He didn't like the name Danny a few years ago either, but he's been more comfortable with a few things lately. Early 20s are a time for a lot of change. +1 also for is he actually posting a video? Curiosity vs sleep

damn daniel, i want to see the video

also he could have at least have danisnotonfire redirect to danielhowell on tumblr smh

seconded! wow. dan was expected, daniel is a shock.

I think so too. It's the kind of name you'd go by as a working professional - one that you'd see on a business card or a CV. "Dan" is what you'd call your mate down the pub. To me it indicates a new era of professionalism - he's reinforcing boundaries and dividing the public and private (echoing the divide seen in their new flat between public workspace downstairs and private living quarters).

This is mostly just speculation though, I'd like to hear Dan's Daniel's own reasoning behind it first.

omg @ mods YOU CHANGED THE FORUM NAME AND EVERYTHING i love you

Well we have to fit in with the branding don't we

I actually like Daniel, I'm expecting him to fully rebrand, get rid of his black aesthetic and everything. I wish he'd hurry up and upload the video though.

Well done, moderators.

He should have just posted it like ripping off a bandaid, the longer the wait the more terrified I am it will be the worst thing I've ever seen and I'm getting stressed

i just remembered "i need to embrace daniel more" from pastel edits... was the whole video and daniel-dream-x/daniel-x-dream part of an elaborate plan to "plant seeds"...

say goodbye to phan

say hello to phaniel

you know this means dan is... not not on fire anymore. danielisnotnotonfire

agreed. plus, maybe daniel is trying to be more focused on the 'work' aspect of youtube? so maybe we'll get more/higher quality content, like a lot of ppl here want

Don't worry, it'll just be "Daniel Howell - Internet Support Group #1"

This is how I see it as well.

Loving the change mods.

Well at least with that we'd finally know for sure how much he truly hates us.
