Hey,
Ever since you did your recent work with Danny, I've had misgivings about using the (now-confusing!) more familiar nickname Danny for you in place of Danielle!
So why in the world did I start in the first place???
Well, when I read your biography, and learned about how your Dad was sick and died when you were small, I recalled a 1985 movie titled
Heaven Help Us. It is set in a time I was about your age when your Dad passed away - and I nearly also lost my Mom. (Maybe that coincidence is one good reason I am fond of you!)
In the film, Mary Stuart Masterson portrays a courageous teenage girl named Danni (sic.), who, by herself, runs a soda shop near a Catholic boy's parochial high school. Her Dad is mentally ill, and his psychotic depression - born of abandonment by his wife - has turned him into a basket case. Even as Danni struggles to nurse her Dad, and support them with the soda shop (while taking no nonsense from any jackass customer!), the blue-nose attitude of the Catholic school faculty puts her business in peril, as these guys repeatedly raid her establishment, looking for their own delinquent students.
So, with your kind acquiescence, I will henceforth continue to honor you with this flattering comparison of you and the Masterson character, but change the spelling I use from
Danny to
Dani. This will remove confusion with any male Danny, and even spare me typing the extra
n used in the film, helping me to maintain the stamina I need for my very lengthy posts!

And it's also darn close to
Dany, the nickname of the
Stormborn one! (Aside: When life pisses you off, remember the magic word:
Dracarys!)
Oh - I guess I've also found one new reason to keep using a familiar nickname - the quirky song snippet within the zip file
