Not my style, it would be ok on the right person, though

I have a dog named Dandelion and call her Dandie a lot. It's my first thought.
I think it works fine as a nickname.

As a nickname for what? Since it sounds exactly like dandy, I find it ridiculous as a name.

I don't like it, even as a nickname. I think of the word "dandy" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy" as mentioned by another poster.
I do like the nickname "Dodie" though.

I dont care for it one bit, all I can think of when is see/ hear it is Yankee Doodle Dandy.
"Yankee Doodle went to town a-riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, yankee Doodle Dandy, mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy."

I think it's silly.
I once worked with a Jande, pronounced JAN-dee. That was her full name and not a nickname. So of course I had to ask her how she received this unusual name. She said her mother coined it as a combination of her own name, Jamie, and her favorite name, Amanda. Then Jande made a remark along the lines of her mother must have been on drugs.
Anyway point being, I prefer Jande to Dandie.

Jande is cool.

Only as a nn.

It could work as a nickname for a small child, I guess.

It would be overly cutesy even on a pet. On a person, even a little kid, it sounds like baby talk. Just a step above (or not) Honey Boo Boo.

I agree.
Also it brings to mind the expression, "Fine and dandy"
