I really like it, and I don't think its ghetto at all. Dionne is actually a French name, and means Divine. I think its a gorgeous name, and if you like it then you name your little girl that.

Answer 10

Dionne is a cute name .. no it dosent sound ghetto atal..its just unusual so it worksboth ways.

Answer 11

Love it, very cute. I know a white girl named Dionne and she is beautiful!

Answer 12

Reminds me of Cher's best friend in the film Clueless. This is what Cher says of their names: "Dionne and I were both named after famous singers of the past, who now do infomercials."

It's not a name that I particularly like, but I don't think it's ghetto. And I think it's a perfectly respectable name for a white girl. After immediately thinking of the film Clueless, I associate the name with Celine Dion- and she's white. The is of Greek origin. It's the feminine form of Dion, which is the short form of Greek names such as Dionysios. For more information, check out this link: http://www.behindthename.com/name/dion

More than anything, the name Dionne is really retro. It was most popular in 1970 (ranking at #321 in popularity), and hasn't been in the top 1000 names since 1983.

Some other names that you may like are: Deanna, Cherie, Rochelle, Marcie, Alisa, Evette, Deirdre, Sonya, Nicola, Tamera, Denise, Melody...
