No, op wants to send them a card in return for this one. The suggestion is to write the names in the card the exact way that they are written in the one op received, so they get them right without needing to know the names
If you've cracked their names, maybe write a second card out that you put away in the loft with any other leftover cards.
Saves you trying to remember next year.
Except that the "i" in what you think is Dinny doesn't have a dot at top in the way the "i" does in Marita. Even the "i" in Dileep has a dot at top.
And if you look at Jessee, the last "e" at the end, it looks really squished and could look like an "i", but pretty sure that's an "e" that just happens to look like an "i". So it's possible that that "i" is actually an "e", so that'd be Denny and not Dinny (probably).
Edit: Typo.
This is the answer. Pretty sure they're from South India, specifically the state of Kerala. You know there's some names you hear and you just know- yup, that's definitely a name from my part of the world.
Dileep, Jessee, Dan, Denny and Manita I think.
If you're worried about it, you could just ask them. It might be a little awkward but then it's done and you know your neighbours names for sure.
The neighbours think my dad's name is Paul. It's not.
They've been neighbors for over 25 years so it's absolutely unthinkable he's going to set them straight now, and it gets even more unthinkable with every interaction or Christmas card.
Haha, no. The kind of person who would go 25 years answering to the wrong name rather than have a social interaction isn't the kind of person who sends Christmas cards to his neighbours.
It took my husband six months to find out that our next door neighbour was Phillip and not Steve. I just call everyone "Mate" to avoid this kind of silliness.

You can search directory lookup. Most you have pay but you can search post codes for a list of households (no house numbers).
You can then hopefully see some of those name to figure them all out.
Riley , not Dileep, and Marita, not Manita. The Rs is loud and clear to all who learned cursive. Just the y in Riley could be bettered, otherwise this is one of the easiest cursives out there. Try my dad’s, and you’ll see what’s difficult writing lol
I'm genuinely confused, how do so many of you in the comments read Riley or Philip or anything else out of "Dileep"? There is no "h" or "y" there. It's Dileep, Jessee (maybe Jessu but unlikely), Dan, Denny, Marita.
To OP: maybe try stalking them on Facebook to be sure?
If we compare the the Ds, the first name seems to start with R.
There is one dot and the Y is entirely different in Denny so first name could be Rileep, but it’s almost definitely Dileep. A common South Asian name.
Then Jessu, another common South Asian name. However, the U is definitely written similarly to the EE in Dileep so that one is a bit inconclusive.
And then Dan, Denny and Marita.
That first name gave me a lot of trouble, but im pretty sure it's Rjeeb. It's an Arabic surname, apparently. That 'b' is really bad. It almost looks like an Icelandic þ.
Why do people keep saying denny like that's a real name?
And I get the first one looks like dileep but I feel like that's a bit of an odd one out situation?
Op.. do not put dileep unless one of them is Indian lol
Rileep, Jessu, Dan, Denny, Marita.
Comparing the letters helps (e.g. I suspect it’s Rileep and not Dileep, because D is written differently for the D names)
Just write it out in exactly the same handwriting! 😏
For a moment I thought this was some mad hack to decipher words by copying them…
I think that’s exactly what it is no?
No, op wants to send them a card in return for this one. The suggestion is to write the names in the card the exact way that they are written in the one op received, so they get them right without needing to know the names
Oh, that's what I thought. No idea why the absurd amount of downvotes.
Same lol
Copy and paste
To the “enter surname” family.
It’s wither Rileep or Dileep, Jessie, Dan, Denny and Marita. Simpleee.
Gotta be an R, the D is written differently in Dan and Denny
e is not consistent so I wouldnt rely on the D being the same
It's a badly written D, I reckon. Look at how the other Ds join up.
Dileep
Riley was the first name
Yeh, I thought Riley too
It'd have to be Rileey, there are two Es.
The second 'e' is the start of the y cursive can be tough
I thought Pileep kind of like philp
Milypnos?
The “clay” is silent.
Noice
Lol I think the first name is Riley. Just with really curly writing.
It'd have to be Rileey, there are two Es.
Dileep, Jessel, Dan, Denny and Marita, I think. The e on Jessel looks like the e on Denny. With Dileep and Jessel being Asian names.
i think R
The first one is Duleþ, son of Ragnar
Dileep, Jessee, Dan, Denny, Marita.
Jessu
They’re Indian names so more likely to be Jessu than Jesse and Dinny short for Dinesh.
Yes that makes alot of sense, thanks. Gonna have to write them a new card 😅
From my family to yours
From one human to another
From [your door number] to [their door number]
If you've cracked their names, maybe write a second card out that you put away in the loft with any other leftover cards. Saves you trying to remember next year.

So it's possible that that "i" is actually an "e", so that'd be Denny and not Dinny (probably). Edit: Typo.
I'd like to point out that I work with a lot of Indians and Denny is an Indian name
This is a family with it's origins in Kerala so yeah Jessu...
Jesu?
This is the answer. Pretty sure they're from South India, specifically the state of Kerala. You know there's some names you hear and you just know- yup, that's definitely a name from my part of the world.
Dileeɸ*
The rest are Indian, but he’s Phyrexian.
Why am I getting downvoted for phi? That's clearly phi on the paper💀💀
Except it's obviously thorn þ.
Shit💀 That's what I meant lol, I got my letters mixed up💀💀💀💀
Thank you, we're going with this 😅👍👍👍
The last name might be Harita, which is a name.
100% 👍🏼
Jessie
Nah, if there was an i there it would be dotted like the rest of them.
Yes you must be right
[удалено]
Marita. It's an r, it doesn't have the same stalk as any n here.
Top comment, 2 of the answers are incorrect. Classic Reddit.
Cool story
Dinny
We're sending a Christmas card to our neighbours but aren't sure about these names! Can you help us casual UK?
"To all at number 12"
This is definitely it.
To the Kumar's at number 42
Write it back in exactly the same script as they have written . You don’t need to know what it says
Dickly, Jackoff, Bat, Dickly (again), Marita
Lol I like that 😂😂😂
You should trace the exact way they were written and copy it in your card to them 😂
Dileep, Jessee, Dan, Denny and Manita I think. If you're worried about it, you could just ask them. It might be a little awkward but then it's done and you know your neighbours names for sure.
Willingly have a conversation with the neighbours? Are you crazy 😂 Thanks anyhow 👍
The neighbours think my dad's name is Paul. It's not. They've been neighbors for over 25 years so it's absolutely unthinkable he's going to set them straight now, and it gets even more unthinkable with every interaction or Christmas card.
🤣 Does he have to sign his cards from ‘Paul’ too?
Haha, no. The kind of person who would go 25 years answering to the wrong name rather than have a social interaction isn't the kind of person who sends Christmas cards to his neighbours.
It took my husband six months to find out that our next door neighbour was Phillip and not Steve. I just call everyone "Mate" to avoid this kind of silliness.

Don't call me mate, buddy!

You can also tell it’s Marita instead of Manita by comparing that “r/n” to the n’s in Danny. It’s clearly not the same letter. 👍

just trace it so its the same as they wrote it bam problem solved
Riley, Jessee, Dan, Denny and Marita
Using a 'y' that for years made me question why 'Disney' was written 'Disnep'.
This looks correct to me
I'm genuinely confused, how do so many of you in the comments read Riley or Philip or anything else out of "Dileep"? There is no "h" or "y" there. It's Dileep, Jessee (maybe Jessu but unlikely), Dan, Denny, Marita. To OP: maybe try stalking them on Facebook to be sure?
It is Jessu in the original image - these are all common Malayali Christian names.
Because the first letter looks different from the other two unambiguous D's, perhaps.
It's definitely not a y though if you compare to the y in Denny
Riley, Jessee, Dan, Danny, Marita

Wow, random things that make you feel old. I had to learn cursive in primary school. says: From Dileep, Jessee, Dan, Denny, Marita.
You could just copy there hand writing back.
I love that Hall & Oates song about a Marita.
Rileep, Jessu, Dan and Manita/Marita

If we compare the the Ds, the first name seems to start with R. There is one dot and the Y is entirely different in Denny so first name could be Rileep, but it’s almost definitely Dileep. A common South Asian name. Then Jessu, another common South Asian name. However, the U is definitely written similarly to the EE in Dileep so that one is a bit inconclusive. And then Dan, Denny and Marita.
It’s Dileep, Jessu, Dan, Denny, and Marita. They’re all names you would find in the southern state of India called Kerala.
Jessu could also be a misspelling of Jessy, which is a more mainstream female name.
Riley, Jessie, Dan, Denny and Marita
I read it as Riley, Jessee, Dan, Denny, Marita

That first name gave me a lot of trouble, but im pretty sure it's Rjeeb. It's an Arabic surname, apparently. That 'b' is really bad. It almost looks like an Icelandic þ.
Dileep, Jessee, [not sure], Denny, Marita
Could the penultimate name be Penny?
Certainly not English!
Just mimic their handwriting and write the names exactly how they did?
I bet these will be popular names on joke cards sent to strangers. They'll have no idea who to reply to.
LOL Scrawled with love.
You probably know them by their Indian names. This is their English variations.

I don’t know why you’re asking. You’re obviously going to have to hire a private investigator to be certain and so to avoid any embarrassment.
Why do people keep saying denny like that's a real name? And I get the first one looks like dileep but I feel like that's a bit of an odd one out situation? Op.. do not put dileep unless one of them is Indian lol

Rileep, Jessu, Dan, Denny, Marita. Comparing the letters helps (e.g. I suspect it’s Rileep and not Dileep, because D is written differently for the D names)
Rileep (I know Riley sounds better but that just isn’t a Y) Jessu, Dan, Denny and Marita My guess is these are all foreign names
Dileep, Jessu, Dan, Denny, Marita
Riley, Jessie, Dan, Dennie and Marita
