The only (3) Denises I know of are mothers of (30 or 40 something) adults; they've all had tragic life experiences and seem above average bitter.

So, I get more of a jaded vibe from it.
But I do like the sound of it.

Your description...

I know 1 Denise and that's exactly what she is! I love the name BTW

Refreshing. I’d love to see it more often.

I associate it with Italian-American aunts from Long Island, which isn't necessarily a negative association. I do find it relentlessly pedestrian, though.

Dionisia is so cool.

There’s something about it that just rubs me the wrong way. I have no idea why but I never cared for it.

I see Denise as a younger version of Bernice. Smart and severe. Judgy.

I love it. It's not really a mom name to me...mom names are Becky, Tammy, Glenda, Rhonda, Susan, Andrea, Amanda, Nicole, that kinda thing. Denise has a purer sound. But yeah, definitely cool and youthful. Dennie is a sweet nickname imo. ETA: I'm really liking Cressida Denise right now

Denise sounds very old and boring to me, sorry. I can't picture a younger woman with the name decide, and definitely not a little girl.
