Would you name your child just Danny? Or just Dan? In this episode, I read comments under the following posts from the subreddit Name Nerds: How's Dan for a girl's name? Is naming a boy just "Dan" weird? What do you think of Danny as a standalone name? We don't like Daniel or Dan. As reluctant as I am to include my own commentary at length in episodes, you'll hear my take on the Danny topic at the end. What are your thoughts on any of these important items?

"Folk with a Rock 'n' Roll Soul" — that is one way to describe Austin-based singer-songwriter Dan Guevara's sound! You might also say Dan's music reminds us that we don't always have to rush through our days; we can be a guiding light to someone in a dark place; and there can be comfort and solace in saying goodbye. It's also OK to look back and laugh at our missteps in romance — our "procrastination" that one time (or several times) when we should have just asked that someone out on a date! Dan...
