I may be overthinking a very simple thing, but...
In the book, when Dr. Edwards is explaining Tony (Danny's imaginary friend) to Mr. and Mrs. Torrance he said:
"And of course you two must understand why Danny's invisible friend is named Tony instead of Mike or Hal or Dutch."
"yes" Wendy said.
"Have you ever pointed it out to him?"
"No" Jack said, "Should we?"
"Why bother? Let him figure it out in his own time, by his own logic."
I looked through the previous chapters and I don't know what they're talking about. Is it because "Tony" sounds more like "Danny" than the other names?

Danny's name is Daniel Anthony Torrance. "Tony" is what Danny calls his imaginary friend who lives in his mouth and tells him things. "Tony" is actually Danny's "shining" and is very much a part of him.

If it was you conclusion, his name would have been Manny, or Fanny. Tony is his "Shining" that tells him what to do.
