Here’s a name I can’t quite figure out: Dainette. It popped up in the mid-1950s, dropped out of the data the next year, and never came back. It ended up as the highest-hitting one-hit wonder of 1955.
- 1957: unlisted
- 1956: unlisted
- 1955: 14 baby girls named Dainette [debut]
- 1954: unlisted
- 1953: unlisted
Names with -ette and -etta endings (like Danette) were trendy at the time, but this doesn’t account for why Dainette would have appeared with more than a dozen babies and then disappeared just as suddenly.
I’ve checked all the usual sources — movies, TV shows, new stories, etc. — but so far I have zero theories about Dainette.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?
