Reading the comments about "Destiny" and "Destinee", it appears that those names are considered disreputable. As for me, I'm French and live in France and have never heard of anyone named this; maybe that's why I kind of like it.
As stated above, the misspelling "Destinee" is very close to the French form of "Destiny" : "Destinée" (pronounced des-ti-NAY ('ay' being the closest sound to the french "é")).
The meaning being the same, it would still seem strange here in France. However, there are other (centuries ?-)old names that are actual words: Désiré (desired), Aimé (loved), Bienvenu (welcome), Honoré (honoured), Fortuné (fortunate), and so on (just add an "e" to feminize them). Very few people are named this nowadays, and those names are often associated with French-speaking people living / coming from African countries or oversea territories (Guadalupe, Martinique, Réunion).
