Growing up, I had a bestfriend whose mom was named Dinah. I remember quite clearly thinking it was Diana, which was more familiar to me at the time. And I remember I told my mom her name was Diana so then when my mom finally met her, she kept referring to her as Diana. Then Dinah, my friend's mom, politely says with a laugh "Oh, it's DINAH!". She wasn't offended or anything, I think she must of gotten it before. My mom on the other hand was a little peeved that I told her the wrong name.

I think Dinah is a nice name, pronounced DIN-ah. To me Dina is pronounced DEE-nah, not Dinah. It does kind of remind of Alice in Wonderland but that's not a bad association or anything. Quite a lovely name, not really my style but I can definitely see it's appeal.
