It's my cat's name! She's sleek and petite and pitch black, and when we got her (rescued from being abused in a park) we had two old tabby sisters called Katie and Alice. I thought that since Alice in Wonderland had a Dinah cat, it would be appropriate.

I also had a great-great aunt Dinah, but she wasn't a factor in the decision. And I knew an Englishwoman once who went by Dee but was in fact a Dinah. She changed from being Di to being Dee after reading Kafka!
