I'm quite fond of Dimitri (this spelling), but have trouble picturing it on anyone who isn't Russian or Greek.

I like Dimitri a lot, but I can never decide which spelling I prefer! I think it's a beautiful name, and I love the meaning.

It's ok

It is one of my favorite names. I love the sound and the nicknames Dima and Mitya.

So gorgeous. Shot into my Top 10 sone time ago and has been going strong!

I prefer Dmitri. I love Russian names and this is one of my favourites

It's okay. It's very common and boring in many countries. I have known Dimitris from Russia (lots and lots) and one from Romania and Ukraine each.

I think it must be about as exciting as John in English speaking countries.

Still it could be an interesting choice in the US. I mean I would expect Russian or Ukrainian or Slavic or maybe Romanian heritage (though I am not sure it's a Romanian name also or if it was a coincidence) but it could still work on an American child.

---

I would put it in the same category as Juan or José or Jean-Pierre or something. It's nothing you'd expect people without a certain background to choose but it can still work.

The sound is just okay and I'd be a bit worried he could get called "Dim".

I like it well enough. It's not my favorite personally. I do like it as a middle name.
