Re: Dee
in reply to a message by queenv
Dee is fine as a nn for something more substantial.
As most of you know, I always hated my birth name (Judy). As a college freshman, I was desperate for change although not ready to buck the system and legally change my name (too afraid of rejection and criticism, I guess) so I actually went by Dee for one entire semester (Judy > JU-dee > Dee). Anyway, I hated it, lol! It just was NOT me. Having said all that, I think it's kind of cute as a nn only. It's friendly and approachable. BTW, I've known classmates named Deirdre, nn Dee or Dee Dee (which I do not care for at all).
