ArchivesOthers with the same name
I live in the USA, was born in Louisa, Virginia and my mother named me after the nurse that delivered me some 56 years ago. I would love to get in touch with others and find out what my name means and where it orginated from. All my family are gone now and I have no way of getting more information. Please respond if you are out there.
Best regards,
Dykie

It looks like a variation of the pet name "Dickie"(Richard)
go to: http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?nmd=n&terms=richard&submit=Go. for more info, or for some in depth info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard
i can say it is not a variation i have come across and it is not listed as a variation or otherwise on the Oxford on-line site.

I'm still praying that someone out there has heard of or knows someone with the first name of "Dykie", it's origin or something about it. My birthday is March 29, 1950 and I was named after a nurse or midwife in Louisa, VA in the USA. It's very important to me to find out about it or the person herself. Please respond if you have any information. Thank you and God Bless.
Someone told me it was a Scandinavian name but I'm not sure.

I don't know if this will help, but my Swedish name dictionary lists Dika and Diken as short forms of Fredrika, and also includes Dyveke, which it says is a Danish name based on Dutch words for "little dove." Though I don't think any of those names would actually be pronounced much like "Dykie" in Scandinavia, I can see how someone from Scandinavia with one of those names working in Louisa, Virginia in the 1950s might get Dykie as a nickname.
