I had an uncle named Dennis that passed away. If I had a boy it would be on my list but my last name ends in "-is" so I don't think it sounds right. (Even though my uncle's last name did too) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-dennis#post-885250 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:51:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 885250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't just cause it's not my style - but I have to say the first thing I thought of when I read the title was Dennis the Menace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-dennis#post-885229 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:48:00 +0000 Chillybear 885229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wouldnt because my last name is pronounced Denny but spelled differently but bc of that we also threw out Jennifer, Kenneth, Leonard, Penelope.</p> <p>I do know a few people named Dennis and i dont think the comic strip Dennis the Menace is relevant but the movie from when we were kids might be fun to show your son if thats what you pick </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-dennis#post-885225 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:46:44 +0000 LazyLightning 885225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would if my last name didn't start with S.

Everyone called him Denny.</p> <p>It's not a name I get super excited about, but it's a perfectly fine, traditional name. If it was a family/friend name, that would give me a reason to be excited about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-dennis#post-885158 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:28:48 +0000 cascademom 885158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't use it because it's an ex-boyfriend's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-dennis#post-885157 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:28:43 +0000 pui 885157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-dennis#post-885156 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:28:24 +0000 QueensBee 885156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it a lot, and I really love when names have family or special significance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-dennis#post-885148 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:26:23 +0000 JerricaBenton 885148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it.
