You are missing the point I was trying to make.  You never said Denny Chin was a male or female so it sounded like he was a successful woman with that name.  I am not assuming that op's Dennie/Denny/Deni will fail at life.  What  I am saying is it is fine as a nn as long as you give your daughter [b]a real girl's name[/b] so[b] she can choose[/b] to go by her male name or her own name!  That is what I am saying.

If you give her only one choice than there is a chance that she will get tired of explaining why her mother gave her a boys nickname as her name.[/quote]

Um.

I would never ask somebody named Denny (or Dennie) why her mother gave her a boy nickname as her name. I would consider that a rude question and none of my business. Would you ask that?

I'm not the OP. My kids have DCUM-approved royalty-of-England names. It's possible that, when they grow up, they will choose to go by a nickname or a different name, or to change their names. Just as it's possible that your child(ren) may choose to do that, or Denny/Dennie may choose to do that.[/quote]
 
People will ask, What is your REAL name?"  or when they see it on a resume they will think man.  Maybe that wouldn't bother you but, I would get annoyed after a while.  Why not give the poor girl a respectable girl name and then give her the nn?  There are all sorts of names out there besides traditional names but, this one is plain ugly even for a boy![/quote]
