What do you think first?

Ready, set, GO!

HannahO28 · September 2011

the only assumption I would make is that it's a middle aged woman.

It sounds a little dated, but it's far from terrible.

kms34 · September 2011

I think she's probably 60 and from a small town/farm.

(I'm thinking of a distant relative right now.)

apc1929 · September 2011

i don't think I would really think much of anything.. sounds a little dated to me but other than that its pretty meh for me

RoninSirPuppyPup · September 2011

This is actually my name and I've always felt like it was a bit young sounding. Interesting that you think middle aged.

I've always wondered what people thought of it.

StephCripps · September 2011

she has the same name as my friend Dee..

bread&jam · September 2011

I'm such a nerd... Star Trek: The Next Generation - Deanna Troi. And I would put the resume on top of the "read it" pile because of it!

sagoon · September 2011

I wouldn't bat an eye and would go on to read the rest of the resume. I'd take more notice if her email was gUccIprincezz420@email.com.

That's is a normal name and I probably wouldn't even bat an eye at it. I used to be good friends with a Deanna in middle school.

This.

This for me too.

Jean-Luc is on my boy name list Embarrassed

brooklynesque · September 2011

Not my favorite name but it would have perfectly fine associations because I was friends with a (poised, smart) Deanna in high school.

On the other hand . . . if the name on the resume were Paizlee or Preslee I would be tempted to discard it.

ImThisBabysMom · September 2011

That I need to keep reading to see if she's qualified for the job. Names don't matter that much to me when reviewing job apps, unless they are just out there insane.

526SadieSadie · September 2011

I'd wonder which way she pronounces it.

Dee-anne-uh, Dee-ohn-uh or Dean-uh

salt78 · September 2011

Big curly hair with lots of hair spray. Shoulder pads.

I love this! She's also in a few episodes of Voyager I think. Maybe not. Let me rethink that a second.

HA! I actually have really big curly hair too.

Shoulder pads though, I'll have to look into that.

This is exactly what I was thinking!

dejavu22 · September 2011

I immediately think Dee-anne-uh. I have a few friends with this name or variation. DeAnna = dee-anne-uh, Deana = dee-ah-nuh or dean-uh

SassyRedhead · September 2011

The Deanna I know is one of the strongest women I have had the pleasure to meet in life. If the candidate was anything like her I'd hire her in a heartbeat.

Yes

Sorry, but this. And also some obnoxious gum.

hsm · September 2011

My sister-in-law's name is Deanna. I know a couple others that are work contacts. I think it is an ok name.

Blessed06 · September 2011

I'd think it's a pretty name, and that her parents chose well!

This!!

renogaw · September 2011

I had a good friend back in high school who was named Deanna. She was maybe 2-3 years older than I am. I considered the name for this baby, I think it's pretty.

RoninSirPuppyPup · September 2011

Wow I'm surprised how many of you know other Deanna's. I haven't met a single other one my entire life. That's one of the reasons I've always wondered what people think of my name. Glad to know it's not as crazy as I suspected.

AlphabetFish · September 2011

For Better or For Worse!

Seriously, though, I don't think anything bad about it--it's a middle of the road name, IMO, nothing fancy, but nothing trashy either.

WashingtonQueen · September 2011

By best friend from elementry school! I miss her.

Froggy76 · September 2011

I would think she's probably a goody two-shoes. Not sure why!

sleeping5beauty · September 2011

I think of this little girl that I know who is about 6 now. She was adorable and so smart when I used to hang you with them like 2 years ago.

kathabus · September 2011

Neutral.

MelleTX · September 2011

My sister is a Deanna, so I would think of her. I would think she was probably in her late 30s, early 40s with a completely respectable name.

It wouldn't stop me.

This, she can't help what her parents named her. I'm more interested in her skills and how she meets the job requirements.
