HelpRe: Dewey
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I feel bad saying this, but I've always been honest about what I think of names and I think everyone should be, so the board doesn't become strictly a validation board. So....
I think Dewey is really terrible as a given name or a nickname. You know how people say "Duh" to indicate stupidity, either on the part of the person they're speaking to or maybe themselves? I don't know how common this still is or isn't, but back when I was a teenager, in addition to "Duh" there was "Doooey" and "Doooey now", meaning the same thing as "Duh".
LOL, I haven't thought of that in years, but your post reminded me of it.
Maybe that's why Dewey sounds so ridiculous to me. It makes me think of a dumb person. Also one of Scrooge McDuck's nephews.
It's slightly more terrible for a girl.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling your niece will outgrow this nickname.
