Makes me think of the Natalie Wood movie Splendor in the Grass. (Might not be the best association.) Her character went by "Deanie."

I'm very glad it isn't my name.
I love Dolly Parton, but her sister's name sounds like somebody in Central Casting picked it for the character "born in the 1940s in a shack in the Appalachians."

I prefer the spelling Willowdean, although if I had to choose a similar name that I like a lot more, it would be Winona.

Hi !!!

Willadeene?
This is the first time that I see it.

I much prefer Willa Diana or Willa Diane. Also Willa Deanna is better than it.

So it's human? If I saw it without any context, I'd think it was the name of a house - specifically, two names tied together violently, like Fredansu, or an unfunny joke like Costa Plenty.

very southern

Dreadful, combines two names I dislike to make me hate them.

I like Willodean much better, this version looks tacky.

Yeesh. I like Wil- names for girls, like Wilhelmina and Wilma, But Willadeene just doesnt work. It is meaningless, dated (was trendy in the 1940s), and has a rural Deep South vibe.
