HelpRe: Dee
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I knew a DeeDee whose real name was the same as mine, both first and middle, Janice Diane. She was young to have the name Janice, born in 1974, but the explanation for that was that she was named after her mother. So a nickname was needed to avoid confusion, but how DeeDee was arrived at, I don't know. The mother Janice was killed in a car crash when she was in her forties, so DeeDee's brother named his daughter Janice after his mother, but she was called Cissy, by everyone except DeeDee, who called her Little Janice. DeeDee died of a heart attack when she was only 35.
DeeDee had a brief relationship with a friend of B.'s named Ray, but Ray always called her DeeDA. DeeDee never objected, but I sure would have. Look, idiot, get my name right.

The dumbest Dee name I know of is a woman named Dindee. Rhymes with Cindy. I used to work with her. She'd be probably late fifties now. She was slightly hard of hearing and I always assumed that Dindee was her childhood mispronunciation of Cindy, or Sandy, or something, or was a babyish holdover nickname for something entirely unrelated.
Turns out Dindee was her actual name. Her parents were something like Donald and Dorothy, and her big sister was Doris, and they wanted the next baby to have a d name too. Even the dog was named Duke. So they came up with Dindee.
All the nice d names they could have chosen? Diana, Dawn, Debbie, Denise, Dana, Darlene, Deanna, even Doreen? And they made one up that sounds like a hearing-impaired kid's mistake.

Donalda, even. I went to school with at least 3 Donaldas. Feminine for Donald, perhaps?
Drusila! a girl I knew as a student.
Doris? harmless name.
