[Opinions] Re: Diana
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
Diana is actually my first name (Elizabeth is my first middle name, which I prefer, hence the screenname).
I've met a couple people with the name (including my husband's aunt) and most love it. I personally had quite a bit of trouble with it, possibly due to the popularity of Michael Jackson in my childhood (Dirty Diana haunts me to this day...). "Die-Diana" is also often used, though if one goes with the German/Dutch/Latin original pronunciation (Dee-ah-nah), which I tend to do these days, it cuts that out quite a bit.
