Help[Opinions] Re: Dee or DD as a nn
in reply to a message by )(
I see Dee and DD as being more masculine, however if spelled Deedee / Dede / Didi, I think it's feminine.
For girls, I would picture it as a nickname for Dorothy or Deirdre. I guess for boys it could be short for any number of names that start with a D. I would advise against using Dee because of the internet term, but I think DD is fine. If spelled like Deedee/Dede, it reminds me of Dedé Mirabal, who was really called Bélgica Adela, so I suppose it could be short for anything containing the D sound.
