I think I have heard more sad stories involving a
Denise (my aunt, friends' moms, other people) than any other name, which doesn't seem a point in its favor.
But it's an interesting name, it's recognizable, and the sound is ok. It's easier for me to imagine for a young person than most similarly aged names. In a positive light, it sounds similar to
Elise but pluckier and more distinct.
