This is probably a dumb idea, but the kids are out and I am very bored. 
I'm sure a lot of people know each other's name in this community, but it could be fun anyway.

Give three hints about your name, not too obvious and not too cryptic, and I'll see if I can guess it.
(Obviously other people can comment with a guess, too. :])

Here are mine:
- means heavenly, divine
- was #120 last year in popularity
- starts with a D, and has an N as the second-to-last letter

-It wasn't in the top 1000 until the year after I was born, when it was #859. However, the most common spelling of it was #163 when I was born.
-It can be spelled many ways, with C instead of K, and Y, I, EY, EE, EA, EIGH instead of IE.
-It can have many varying meanings because some spellings come from different origins/root names. One of the meanings is "free man".

Has more nn options than I can count.
