Dimmy is a very popular name - Russian, Polish, Latvian and I've even
known a Dimmy Greek.

It's short for any number of names.

I guess it could be short for Demitrious, Demetria, etc.
I'd pick a different nickname if it were up to me.
At least something noble enough to be associated with a hole in the
road.
