Help[Opinions] Denis
WDYT? Do you prefer this or Dennis? Do you think most people would just think of Dennis the Menace? I've never met anyone with this name, it's definitley not too popular.

I like it with two n's. Denis looks too much like....... Well...... It could be my rather immature mind kicking in here but I can't help but think of him being teased as "DEE-nis the PEE..." Hopefully you catch my drift.
I think with Dennis it's easier to see the proper pronunciation. Also, like Array, I like the idea of Denny. But that might be because I'm a Grey's Anatomy fan!
I've known a number of people named Dennis... I guess it's rather popular around here, or was at one point. The most notable was a boy in my grade, who was probably at least a foot shorter than anyone else in the class. I was his friend, being a shrimp myself, and we liked to collect rocks at recess. But he grew up to be pretty odd. So that's my impression of the name! A shrimpy rock-collector who never got over his awkward phase.

I prefer Dennis to Denis, which I automatically pronounce the French way--in my head, at least. The chances of me running into a de-NEE are so unlikely that I'd say it out loud just like Dennis.
Anyway, I love Dennis nn Denny. It's fun and a bit retro (very 50s-60s, after all), and I wouldn't think of Dennis the Menace if I met one (mostly because I hate that comic and they thankfully stopped running it years ago in the papers I read).
