For me personally, I just hear Sharon in Eastenders calling " Denny"...

If you don't watch EE, then It would be fantastic if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Would you have Dennis on the BC or just Denny?

Reality16 · 16/01/2017 23:43

Might work on cute little kid but anything after about 8 years old is a no

Sholly · 16/01/2017 23:46

It's a NN. I've got name regret, so wanted to find a NN, so don't worry about him having a full-name, he has one (if he really wants to go by it when older) but yeah Smile

Assume you are not in the Lothians? Grin

My first thought was Wickham's pal in Pride & Prejudice. Dead cultured me!

But Sunbeam has reminded me of the town..... Grin Tis a bit of a grim town.

Fine as a nickname!

I've known three Danny's. They are all bastards.

AmyInTheBoonies · 17/01/2017 04:50

It's a bit of a rogue's name to me for some reason. Maybe it's the Eastenders connection.

BitOutOfPractice · 17/01/2017 05:27

It's a downmarket restaurant chain in America well known for cheap breakfasts. There's one in every town.

Pluto30 · 17/01/2017 06:03

The Denny I know is a female and it's short for Deneva.

So, it's a no from me.

Afreshstartplease · 17/01/2017 06:12

What's the full name op

wigglesrock · 17/01/2017 07:14

It's a big brand of sausages/bacon in Ireland - so that's what I'd think of first but that's just me.

Only1scoop · 17/01/2017 07:15

It's a surname

NoMoreAngstPls · 17/01/2017 07:21

Reminds me of a handsome Grey's Anatomy character.....

I like it actually. What is real name?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/01/2017 10:42

Is he called Dennis OP ?
It isn't really, such a bad name, more one to grow into.He'll become known as Den.
Or is it something else, Denver ?

GinIsIn · 17/01/2017 10:43

Dirty Den
Denny's the fast food chain
Denny the slightly dim character from P&P

Mol1628 · 17/01/2017 10:48

Quite a common surname.

MollyHuaCha · 17/01/2017 10:50

I've been to a few Denny's Diners in USA - seem to specialize in pancakes, coffee and 'eggs over easy'

MiniMaxi · 17/01/2017 16:59

Denzel, I hope!

Denny is fine as a nn

EssentialHummus · 17/01/2017 17:04

I think of Denny Crane, the William Shatner character from Boston Legal. It's not offensive OP, just a bit out there. I'd assume you weren't English, if that makes a difference.

Kanewreck · 17/01/2017 17:05

Why be Denny different

That1950sMum · 17/01/2017 17:08

That's not a real name is it?

Sophpau · 17/01/2017 17:29

Everyone will call him den after a certain age so you just need to roll that off your tounge a few times see how it sounds
