Do you think DeeDee is due a revival?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

[Collision]

No

why particularly?

[Janoschi]

Not sure about DeeDee but I did like Didi when on the hunt for names. Thought it'd make a nice nickname for Deborah....

[valiumbandwitch]

Has it been really popular at some point in the past? I'd guess it's rising in popularity. Names like Lulu and Mimi and Gigi woulduld have sounded like poodles 25 years ago. Now I wouldn't know.

[PorkChopSter]

Actually, no.

[oneofsuesylvesterscheerios]

Why the ?

DeeDee sounds like a woman who runs a B&B who still wears her hair like Dusty Springfield and shouldnt wear her skirts so short now she's over 60.

[2cats2many]

Please tell me that you're joking...

[Emelene]

No. I really dislike it. A nickname for a little girl maybe, but I'm still not keen.
It just sounds middle aged. :/

[saythatagain]

Dee Dee is the name dd gave herself the moment she could talk - it's stuck ever since but only with me & dh. Don't know where she got from but it's definatley stuck

[gruber]

Erm, no. Sorry.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Really?

No-one?

[CointreauVersial]

Isn't one of Pan's People called Dee Dee?

[EllieG]

Is is short for something? It sounds like one of the silly girls in Grease to me.

[TethersEnd]

I love it.

[edam]

It's a nickname, not an actual name that you'd put on a proper birth certificate. Imagine some poor person having to admit their full formal name is Dee Dee every time they apply for a passport or a driving licence, or get married, or correspond with Revenue & Customs or have to respond to a speeding fine....

[JellyBeansOnToast]

DD, people, DD.

[HappyWifeandMum]

Looks like you might have one vote up there... Personally, I would definitely pass.

[expatinscotland]

This is the name of the eldest girl whose younger siblings could not pronounce 'Deirdre'. It is therefore not a real name, but a nickname given by infants like my 2-year-old.

Else it might be the nickname of someone whose name is Diana, but still, it's not a real name.

Don't go there. It is made up the product of hormones stuff.

[HengshanRoad]

It means "penis" in Mandarin Chinese, if that's any help...

[pilates]

I've never heard of it, its dreadful.

[JellyBeansOnToast]

Oh come ON. DD....DD

I am spelling it out for you!

[ShoutyHamster]

DeeDee Ramone

Yeah go for it :)

[purepurple]

Hey ho let's go!

[Ladyloo]

we use it as a short form of Lydia.

[edam]

Thanks for the Mandarin fact, Hengshan, am storing that one away as I'm sure it will come in useful at some point!
