MommyToAshley - Dee Dee .... ?

DansMom wrote: Okay, you won't believe this, but I woke up at 4:30 am and was wondering: Is Dee Dee MommyToAshley's given name, or is it a nickname? I have been generally thinking about girl's names lately (not that DH will agree to have another, but I fantasize about having a girl too), and lately I've been liking the name Delia, and thinking that a nickname for that would be "Dee" or "Dee Dee". That's how I got wondering about your name in my sleep I guess!

Will you tell, or is it a secret?

MommyToAshley replied: Can't tell you... It's a SECRET!


Just kidding. It is actually a nickname for my middle name. How weird is that. My real name is Mary Denise... so completely unrelated to my nickname. But, my parents called me Dee Dee from the time I was born, I don't think I even knew what my real name was until I was older. My Mom's name is Mary with a different middle name, so I guess that is why they called my Dee Dee instead of Mary. I don't know why they didn't just give me that name at birth. It was always weird on the first day of school when someone would call out "Mary".. I always hated having to give my nick name. But, since Dee Dee was what I had been called and knew all my life, I just stayed with it.

Sorry, I rambled, I am sure you didn't want all that background.

I love the name Delia. I think you and your DH should work on having a girl so you can use it.

MomToMany replied: You know, I always wondered that too, Dee Dee!

Thanks for sharing that! Now I can't picture you as a Mary, you look like a Dee Dee, LOL!!




And I also finding myself thinking about members in the middle of the night & even dreaming about them (LOL, remember Dee Dee?)!


UGH, this place is addicting !!!

My2Beauties replied: I just always daydream about what you guys look like for those I haven' seen pics of and what your home looks like, what your child's voice sounds like, etc...

DansMom replied: Thanks Dee Dee!! You'll always be Dee Dee to me

I don't know if I dream about people here, but I must, because I often wake up at 4 am with someone from the forum in my head or something about a discussion I'm still thinking about. Last week I woke up with a great idea for a poll. Two hours later, I couldn't remember it, and I still can't. Oh well. Maybe it will come back to me one of these mornings.

when you said that, i got this mental image of myself standing up in the middle of a crowded church basement full of mostly moms going "My name is Becka and I'm a parentingclub.com-aholic." and then everyone else in unison going "Hi, becka."



lack of sleep plus baby-come-out-now anxiety...makes my imagination act up.

I too have had dreams of Mom's from the board. It's kind of weird because I have only seen these people through pics. It's one of those signs that I am here way too much. LOL!!!!!!!

Josie83 replied: I always wondered whether or not it was your real name too! I can't imagine you as a mary that seems so formal! Its like Cassie soemtimes doesn't respond if anyone ever calls her Cassandra, lol xx
