[Opinions] Dodo
I am a bit unsure about posting this name because I saw it in a church bulletin yesterday. But someone's first name was listed as Dodo. Whoever it is, I figure they need prayer of some sort, so I don't do this to make fun of their name. But have you ever heard of that name before. Do you think it's just a nickname?Chels'

I do hope it's a nickname, it's totally ridiculous as a full name. I know a Dorothea who goes by Dodo.
Just think "dead as a dodo", it would be apalling as a full name, even if it has some origin as a legit name.

Aw . . .My Aunt Joan was called Dodo when she was little. Her older sister, my Aunt Mary, couldn't say Joan.

(I haven't read the other responses, my internet is sloooow tonight.)
In this case, I'd guess that Dodo is a nickname for any "D" name..Dorothy, Doris, Dolores.

I found it on another sitehttp://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Dodo.htmlIt's also on here as a user submitted name. It says it can be a NN for Doloreshttp://www.behindthename.com/submit/view.php?name=dodoTo be honest, I don't like it because all I can think of is the Dodo Bird. I really hope it's just the person's nickname.

Dodo is pronounced Doe Doe... it's a biblical name. I don't like it at all.

I would use it the same day I name someone Idiot or Doofus, when Hell freezes over.

Please provide a reference for where Dodo is a Biblical name. This is an etymology name site; claims of meaning should be backed up somehow.
