Dewey?

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you feel about name [name_m]Dewey[/name_m]? Any associations?

The [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] decimal system, though that’s not a bad association. I actually really like it.

My first and only association is [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] from [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] in the Middle. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad association, but growing up in another country, I didn’t know it was a real name.

I think of the decimal system, the library cat, and [name_m]Donald[/name_m] Duck’s nephew - none are bad connotations to me! (Seriously, Google the library cat - best story ever!)

I think it sounds super sweet! A bit “nicknamey” for my taste, but still nice.

[name_m]Donald[/name_m] Duck’s nephews [name_m]Hughie[/name_m], [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] and [name_m]Louie[/name_m] was my first thought. Not necessarily a bad association. I think I prefer the original Welsh [name_m]Dewi[/name_m], but that’s probably not so useable.

Unless you are Welsh!

I think of [name_m]Donald[/name_m] Duck’s nephew as well ! However, I don’t think that makes it not usable. It’s a cute name, though I prefer it as a nickname.

I only though of the [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] Decimal System. I don’t think it could really work as a stand alone name tho. I just can’t imagine a grown man with the name [name_m]Dewey[/name_m], but it would be a cute nickname for a boy.
[name_m]Dewey[/name_m] is the Welsh form of [name_m]David[/name_m] so it could be a nickname for that.
Also [name_m]DeWitt[/name_m]/Dewytt, [name_m]Dwayne[/name_m], [name_m]Dwight[/name_m], and Dewon
OR
Combos that have a D, E, and W in them like [name_u]Devon[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_u]Wade[/name_u] or [name_m]Derek[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] a lot! I like that I can see it on any age, because that can be difficult for me with a lot of names. I didn’t think of the [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] decimal system and had also completely forgotten about [name_m]Donald[/name_m] Duck’s nephew until I saw them mentioned by PP’s, but I don’t think either one is an issue.

My main association with [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] is the [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] Decimal System in libraries. I’ve never heard of [name_m]Dewey[/name_m] as a boy’s name in the UK. It strikes me as being more of an American name. (There is a Welsh name [name_m]Dewi[/name_m], but it has a different pronunciation.)
