Nickname for Dismas?

I know it is a bit out there for most people, but for those who don't know, Dismas is the name tradionally given to the "good thief" who Jesus promised would be with him in Heaven. I like the sound of it, and the meaning behind it. My q is what do you think a boy named Dismas would end up being called? Would his friends end up calling him Dis?

Between my friends anyone whose name starts with a D was nicknamed DeeDee. I would think that is what I would call him. If you want to make sure he isn't called Dis you could call him DeeDee and people will follow your lead.

Is it pronounced Dizmas or

Yes, nn could end up being Dis. Or just D. Do you have a middle name chosen yet? You could always chose something that would create an initial nickname. For example, choose
