WDYTO the nickname De, pronounced like Dee, I like Deandra as a full name but I'll like to hear other full name!

I also agree with RoxStar; De is the Dutch word for "the" so with one E it just looks weird to me.

Dee is a common nickname for Deirdre. (I agree with RoxStar, Dee is a better spelling.)

spell it Dee ...

It makes more sense to spell it that way, no doubt about pronunciation. Deandra, Delia, Deanna, Denise, really any D name will work.

I agree on the spelling. De looks like the Spanish/ French preposition. It also works for any D name the way Elle works for an L name, Emme works for an M name, Kay works for a K name, and Jay works for a J name.

I like it alright, but I like the Dee spelling more. I like either one much better than DeeDee. I've known two DeeDees. One I went to elementary school with and I don't know if DeeDee was her given name, or a nickname, or if a nickname, what her given name was. The other DeeDee actually had the same first and middle name that I do, Janice Diane, but went by DeeDee. I guess this was to differentiate her from her mother, after whom she was named. Either calling her Jan or Diane would have been better than DeeDee.

I really like Deandrea, too. But I'd go with the Dee spelling.
