It's just the will of "D" at play here.

Someone somewhere realized starting a name with D and the going crazy with it, is really fun to say.

Dotatada, Dede-dododo, Dadidedead - DEDADODE - DemeDomo - Dandende - Dorodora - Dorirada


See its so easy to make fun to say titles!

Pretty sure At least two of those are actual words in Japanese and one an onomatopoeia (Durarara). Dandadan I have no clue about though, but it might make more sense than something like D.Gray-man. I still have no idea the meaning behind that title.

They sound like gibberish if you don't speak Japanese. "Dororo" is named after one of the characters in that series and "Dorohedoro" translates to something in Japanese. Pretty sure "Durarara!!" is an onomatopoeia for something. "Dandadan" likely is as well, but not quite sure about that one since I'm not familiar with that series.

Would you prefer if they used the "T" instead?
