Don't make a child go through life with this name. 😬

EDIT. Just saw that you were on about someone else. Sorry @OkieDoke123 I agree. Dreadful name!

I quite like it! I know of a “Dolly”which I think is sweet too.

The only person I was aware of was Dillie Keane of Fascinating Aida. Middle class comedy but often very funny.

@OkieDoke123 sorry for your loss 💐
Perhaps you need to stay away from Instagram.

I know many people with the name Dilwar from Bangladesh and the nickname is Dilly. So not stupid.
What is stupid people called Richard being called Dick. Now what idiot thought that was a good idea.

It’s probably a nickname.. I hope
