ok clarrissa im sitting at my computer laughing! LOL

I agree that dudu is horrible, but ive heard of it. altho I think the worst name in the world is Elozar called Loser. its pretty much the pronunciation of the chassidish havarah, where u would say El-U-Zer, so for short its Loser! sorry but in America, thats cruelty! lol!

Okay, I confess that that was me, posting as amother, but I can't imagine that, in the US at least, anybody would want to call their kid Dudu, no matter what perfectly nice name it's a nickname for. What else do people use -- Poopoo or Peepee for Pnina?

Nicknames can be cruel!

Oh My! I never realized how Dudu sounds!!!! That it kind of sounds like something else... I'm just so used to it from hearing about Dudu Fisher....
That's really funny!!!!!!!! Now I keep saying it over & over in my head & it just sounds like what u had in mind! lol
