161.0. "name not seen in file yet" by 6177::DMUNGOVAN () Wed Dec 16 1987 01:37

               hi i'm new to this so bear with me.
        i have been looking through the files and i haven't seen
        my name at all.  its Deidre (deer-dra) prononceation.
        i use to now what it meant but now all i can remember
        is it was also the name of an irish goddess. i have met 
        4 people with my name and we all seem to spell it different
        i spell it above and others spell it deirdra, or dierdre
        but i like the way i spell it.  the nicknames  that i have
        been called are De, Dede, Dee, Deedee pretty routine but
        spelled different.

161.1I haven't seen mine either!RUTLND::GOOSBYWed Dec 23 1987 13:505
    I've met one Deirdre and one Deidre..
    
    At least that's how I think they spelled it.
    I've not met anyone with my name either it's Jeri-Elayne

    The name comes from way back in Irish mithology. Deirdre was in
    a lot of books about Fionn McCuall (?SPELL)

    Hi,
    
    I am new to this file too, and I was surprised not to see my 
    name in it much.  My name is Denise.  I only saw it mentioned
    once/twice in the D names topic.
    
    Any other Denise's out there?

161.4ANOTHER "DENISE"VIDEO::ELKINSMon Aug 01 1988 15:0425
    Hi Denise,
    
    My name is also Denise.  I am fairly new to this notes file as well
    as haven't seen our name mentioned but once maybe.  I am expecting
    the end of December, so I've only been reading this baby file for
    about a month. 
    
    I never thought I'd have such a hard time trying to decide on a
    name!  Although I do have many picked out for a girl, it's the boy's
    names that I'm having a hard time with.  So if anyone out there
    has any suggestions I'd sure appreciate them!  So far for boys names
    I have Gregory James, Matthew Aaron, Kurt or Justin (no middle names
    to go with them yet) but I am still not totally happy with any of
    them.  For girls names I have picked out Andrea, Shana, Shannon,
    Stephanie, Cassie, or Rebecca and the list goes on and on.
    
    Well it was nice to hear from another DENISE!
    
    
    Denise
    
    p.s.
    By the way do you know the meaning of Denise?
