Is Denham too out there?

Currently pregnant with baby #7 🤭
We aren't sure of the gender yet but Dennis is also on our boys list. I really like the nickname Denny but I feel like Dennis is too harsh and doesn't go with our last name. DH had a friend is school called Denham and I have mixed feelings about it. Opinions and suggestions appreciated!

Ronnie is your best suggestion out of them all, followed by denver all of the others are bad sorry, if you go for Ronnie but want a full name, Aaron, aron, or Ronald are suggestions x

I know someone called Denham. I think it's a nice name and have never thought of it being mispronounced as denim.

I thought it was Debenhams

It's interesting to know that other people know Denhams/Denholms

When I think of Denny, I just think of Eastenders.
Never heard of your original spelling and misread it as Debenhams.

Denholm is the spelling I'm familiar with, but it will still be said as Deni/um by those familiar with the name or Den-holme by those who are not. I prefer your suggestion of Denver.

I have an relative called denham named after a village in the Scottish Borders, always called Den. It’s perfectly fine but expect to spend your life spelling it.

I would use Denholm or Denver.

I would use Denver, nn Denny.

Never heard of Denham or Denholm.

I knew a baby Dennis once. It never got shortened to Denny or Den though.

I definitely like Denver best.

What about Devon? As in, Devon Sawa.

I knew a Denham at Uni. The similarity to Denim never occurred to me.

I went to school with a lad called Denny in the 80's.
Denny was his full name, I've never met another Denny since.

It's my family member's middle name. But that's because its a family surname.

Denholm is a town in the Scottish Borders so that would raise a few eyebrows here. It's pronounced Den-um rather than Denim.

Awful.....denim/dunelm/Debenhams

The suggestion above of Aaron is much nicer.

There's a girl in ds3's class (reception) called Denim. Like the jeans. I assumed he had misheard, kids do, but I checked the name on the peg last year when we were still at the escorting into the cloakroom stage, and it's true. She's called Denim.

I knew a Denham at school. It never occurred to me to think it was unusual.
