Personal experiences with the name Deidre

My name is Deidre Leigh, but I personally I don't like it. Lots of people say they like it, but I don't.

My name is Deidre Marie. I didn't like my name when I was young due to the fact that everyone pronounced it incorrectly (either dEE-drah or dEE-trah). My family calls me DeeDee; adult friends call me Dee (my least favorite). I've grown to love my given name and appreciate it's uniqueness and only introduce myself as Deidre now.
