The name being: DeeDee.
I know, it was short for something. But what?
(Did you know that there are actually people using this as their entire name?)
No Dexter’s Lab jokes, please.
I’ve known 3 DeeDee’s - two were “Dolores” and one was properly Didi. I’ve always assumed it could be a nickname for anyone whose name started with a “D”.
I’ve heard it used once, rather jokingly, as a nickname for a woman whose name was Deirdre.
I once knew a girl with the name of Delores Debora ____. She always went by the initials of her first and middle names.
Dione La Rue became known as Dee Dee Sharp and had a number one hit in 1962 with “Mashed Potato Time,” and a bunch of other hits. Just about every pop singer of the day had kids named after them.
There was also a group named Dick and DeeDee, aka Dick St. John Gostling and Mary “DeeDee” Sperling, who had minor hits in the early 1960s.
Even more unknown are Don Gardner & Dee Dee Ford whose “I Need Your Loving” hit #20 in that seminal year of 1962.
Dee Dee Bridgewater made her debut with a jazz group in 1970 and went on to a long and acclaimed singing career. She a real Dee Dee, too, having been born Dee Dee Garrett in 1950.
Dee Dee Ramone followed in 1974. Not in jazz. 
Music’s lousy with Dee Dee’s. Not surprising that kids get named after them.
Nor should we forget Clinton Press Secretary Margaret Jane “Dee Dee” Myers, the inspiration for CJ on The West Wing.
Well, my wife’s maiden name was Denise D_________. She was Deedee from the day she was born.
Denise, Deirdre, Delores, Desiree
All the kinds of “D” names women would voluntarily choose to shorten.
I know a girl named Alexis whose friends occasionally call her “DD” due to a certain physical atribute 
My grandmother’s name was ‘Edith’ yet she’d been called ‘Deedee’ as long as she could remember.
My cousin called DeeDee was really named Denise. I also knew a DeeDee who was a Deanna.
dimitra?
as irishgirl said could be any number of “d” names. or any name with a d in it somewhere.
What? No mention of Dee Dee Myers?
She was born Margaret Jane. Go figure…
Oh, dear.
I know, I know. I’ve done it too. :o
Damn!
I have a cousin named Steve whose younger brother said “Deedee” before he could say “Stevie” and the name stuck at least until Steve was out of high school.
