Denny
I like the nickname Denny. There are only a couple of full names for it that I like, but they also have two syllables. I think it's pointless to have a nn with the same number of syllables as the full name. Would that bother you or would you use Denny as a nn anyway? Or, would you use Denny as a full name?ETA: Is Tennyson "Denny" too much of a stretch? They both come from Dennis / Denis.

I like Denny, but I'd love to use it as a nickname for Denver, Denzel, or Denton (even if it is "pointless").I think Tenny would be a more natural nickname for Tennyson than Denny would be. Hmm, longer than 2 syllables...? Devanand. Derenik. Deandre. Devonte.Like anything?

I would use it as a NN for Dennis. I guess it wouldn't be so much a NN as a pet name, something cute and casual instead of calling him Dennis all the time. Denny is cute, perhaps too cute and for that reason I wouldn't use it as a full name.
