Re: Dee
in reply to a message by queenv
I've never met anyone called either Dee or DeeDee, so the things I associate with them are from books/movies...
Dee for a girl reminds me of "Look at me, I'm Sandra D" from the movie Grease.
Dee for a boy reminds me of Dudley Dursley "Big D" from the Harry Potter books.
Deedee reminds me of a word I heard over and over in the movie Water; I think it's a Hindi term for "sister" or "elder sister".
Dee is NMS, but I think it's okay for other people. I'd compare it to Lee (which I dislike because I see it so much); Dee doesn't bother me in the same way, but it probably would if I heard it used often.
I like DeeDee, but more as a term of affection, rather than an "official" NN (and definitely not as a full name)? If I called someone DeeDee occasionally, I'd still call them by their full name more...because it does sound a bit too cutesy to me.
