Danielle Daniel: My name is Danielle Daniel, the name that I married into. And only after fourteen years of marriage did I decide to take his last name, Daniel, because I thought it would be an excellent author's name. I do love it, because it does represent the masculine and the feminine, but in French, which is another language that I speak— French is actually my first language that I learnt when I was a young girl—when you say it in French, it's Dan-YEHL Dan-YEHL, masculine or feminine, which sounds very funny to me.
