Noa Sperber asked April Daniels:

Hello! I was wondering if Danny's name was taken from your last name? I just now realized that her birthname is the same as your name. Thank you!

April Daniels Hi! Her name was not taken from my last name, though I realized that synchronicity soon after the first draft was completed. The reason I named her Danny was because I came up with the name Dreadnought first, and initially I toyed around with giving her a name that could create alliteration if they were used in conjunction--as in, Dreadnought Danny or Danny Dreadnought. I junked that idea, but by then Danielle was already an established character in my mind, and shifting gears to rename her would be too much of a hassle.
