For all my web friends who have never actually met me….out of curiousity, how do you pronouce my name??? This came up at the Coupon Sense meeting last night and it got me thinking.?? Often times people assume “Doni” is pronounced “Doe” – “Knee” – long “o”.?? Wrong.??:)<\/p>\n
The proper pronunciation is “Don” “eeeee” (or Donny if that helps more).?? No long o sound.<\/p>\n
My dad’s name is Don and my Mom is Deanna.?? Therefore, as the firstborn child, I was named Donielle DeAnn.?? Donielle is pronounced “Don” “Yell” – the same as Danielle just subsititue a short “o” instead of an “a”.?? My dad was “Donny” as a child and didn’t like it but he thought it would be adorable on a girl so he quickly switched the family nickname to me when I was born.?? I would tell you the mispronunciation that I hate the most but some of you are onery enough to use it if I give you the ammunition.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Most people call me Doni because Donielle confuses them.?? At work and school I often just answered to Danielle because that’s what I ended up anyhow.?? :)???? In my younger years, only my family and church family??called me Doni and I used my full name everywhere else.?? After I had Tanner though and quit working, you find yourself in more intimate crowds 90% of the time so I got more accustomed to just introducing myself as “Doni” since that is what I hear the most these days.?? Take that back – I hear “mommy” the absolute most and that is THE best but you can’t call me that LOL!<\/p>\n
