Make's me think of Denny's.

Which I find to be a very cheap restaurant with mediocre food and service. Ick.

Dennis a pretty good name, though, I suppose. I prefer it spelled Denis.

so humdrum it's cool

It's fine in a "so humdrum that it's cool" in a literary or cinematic kind of a way.

Love Denny, hate Dennis

I tend to use Denny as a nickname for the rather 'unexceptably' modern Jayden, Brayden and Holden. Not sure whether that's taking the easy way out though!

I love Dennis. Soft but still masculine. I'm not as fond of Denny (it's a resturant to me: Denny's) but as an occasional nickname, wouldn't bother me at all. (I also love Gary & Frank, especially Frank mentioned earlier)

Dennis is nice, and Denny is adorable. It reminds me of Lydia shouting "DENNY!" in the '95 version of Pride & Prejudice.

Eh, Dennis makes me think of "Dennis the Menace", a cartoon and comic from my childhood that I loathed. While I like old names, Dennis is also a bit too dated, like Gary and Frank. I do like Denny, though. Denny is the name of Lydia and Kitty's friend in "Pride and Prejudice", so I imagine Dennies to be happy, fun, and carefree.

Like Dennis, not Denny!

Yay. I've always thought Dennis was an underappreciated name. Glad to see someone else likes it. And the nn Denny is very cute.

Not that you asked, but the feminine variant that I am smitten with at the moment is Dionysia ("dee-uh-NEE-sia" or "die-uh-NIE-sia.") Do you like that one, or is it too frilly?
