Denny or Dennie for a girl?

[Anonymous]

Dennie/Denny sounds like it should be the slang/short name for a prescription drug that is being abused.

I prefer Dennie to Denny.

Neither

+1 why anyone would do this to a girl is beyond me

OP , would you be happy if your name was Denny/Dennie/Dennee/Denneigh however you want to spell it?

So even if you hate the name - which spelling do you hate the most?

Denny is worse but this is such a horrible idea.

This.

Everyone will think it's a boy...especially on paper. Think: future resumes.

I know you want to be different, but at some point you need to realize that naming your kid is a big responsibility. Ultimately, the kid is the one who must carry the stupid name through life.

Denise
Eden
Dennison
Denton
Heck, even Dennsley/Dennsleigh is better than just Dennie (which sounds like a boy and looks like it's misspelled but is still better than the crappy restaurant name Denny).

If you must go with this name, I urge you to consider using it as a middle name.

How about Denver?

The naming business is more about the parents (usually moms) than the babies. Op sounds like going overboard trying to be the center of attention- except not in a good way. Poor baby...

Dennie. I love the name, OP! Don't listen to the naysayers - they are the typical Olivia-Emma-Ava-trendy Moms.

OP is trying to be the center of attention by asking whether to spell the baby's name with a y on the end or an ie?

OP, I tend to think that -y is more dignified than -ie, although there's probably no rational basis for my opinion.

Denny is itself a nickname for Dennis. It's like Tommy to Thomas. So you're asking if you should spell your daughter's male name nickname in the traditional way (for the nickname) or in a creative made up way.

I do think you or your daughter will regret this choice and you should choose another name and then call her a nickname.

I knew a Denilda who went by Deny. I do not like Dennie- seriously?

[Anonymous]

I love Denny for a girl, OP. I prefer the "y" to the "ie" but really either are fine.

I work with a woman named Denise who goes by Deni. Works for her.

There is a 2d Circuit judge, Denny Chin- so I guess there's the counterpoint for saying "she'll never be successful if Denny is at the top of her resume."

I like Necie for Denise
