By comparison, there have been 73 years in which the first name Dene has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their babies Dene only once in a blue moon, so, if your name is Dene you can consider yourself truly special!

Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
