I go by my childhood nickname DeeDee. My mom named me Denita, she absolutely loved the name, but no one pronounced it right, so she nicknamed me DeeDee and it has stuck.
We have a large family and a few cousins that I used to babysit gave me their own special nicknames. So, I get called Deedles, Deedledee, Deedeedeedee, Neeta, Deetz, Deeds, Nita, and Denny. My dad used to call me Denita Wayne.....still don't know where he came up with that as my middle name is Jean after him. Dad wasn't mad at me either when he called me that...I think he was trying to let me know that mom was the one mad at me at the time.
