Comments for the name Deanne

My name is spelled DeAnn. My birth certificate shows it to be spelled D'Ann.

I love this name because it's my middle name. Sometimes I wish it were my first name, but I like my first name, too, so I have no problems. But, anyway, it sounds great to me.

I prefer the variant spelling, D-e-a-n-n. I think that's because that's the way my cousin spells it.

My friend Deanne is very spontanious and eccentric. She is a pillar for my entire class. I feel that her name fits her personality very well.

A famous bearer is an American actress Deanne Bray.

I like this name but just an idea: my mom spells her name DeAnn.

My sister's name is Deanne Bonner, but she says that though she likes her name, it was a torment to have because throughout her whole childhood life (which I was not alive in), people pronounced her name dean-EE BONE-er. She actually capitalised the "A" for a few years just so people would see the "anne" part as pronounced seperate from the "De" part.

This name has a nice ring to it. It reminds me of a notably friendly older lady, but not elderly. I do think I prefer the 'DeAnn' spelling slightly.

I was born Deanne Elizabeth, and although "Deanne" is unique and pretty, I was constantly frustrated by mispronunciations and misspellings growing up. (the most common mistakes were being called "Dianne" or "Dean".) I too tried the DeAnne spelling, which stopped the "Dean" problem, but the "Dianne"s kept coming. Finally when I was starting college (a good time to make a name change, since you're meeting all new people) I said "Forget this, I'm going by my middle name" and I have been Elizabeth ever since. Even my parents call me Elizabeth now. Deanne is still my legal first name - I sign things "D. Elizabeth" - and oddly enough, on those rare occasions when I have to use it, nobody ever misspells or mispronounces it! Go figure.

This is my middle name except mine is spelt with one n. I like the name but as others mentioned it gets mispronounced. So I try to capitalize the A. It's a really pretty name.

This is my middle name, named after my uncle "Dean". HATE the name... it doesn't allow for any pretty nicknames (neither does my first name). Please, Please, PLEASE if you are thinking of this name for your child think long and hard about whether your child will grow up loving or hating you for this choice.

I love this name. It's my middle name. I don't know how you could hate it. Be happy you have such a pretty name. A nickname would not do this name justice.
