agree  Timothy Takemoto: I would not put too much emphasis on the "love" part though. This is "like" a lot and it does not entail committment.

  -> in a previous question I answered he said he loved her...
agree  E. Bender: I think Timothy's emphasis on the "like" part is right on the mark.

(your name) whom I am very fond of


Explanation:
daisuki: to be very fond of (something or someone)

~na: that, which, whom etc.

the subject "I" is implied in the statement.

so, "[watashi/boku ga] daisukina (something/someone)" is
"(something/someone) I really like a lot."
