[Opinions] Re: Dinah
in reply to a message by guru
Dinahs don't blow where I live! So that wouldn't be an issue at all.
I like it very much; I had a great-great aunt Dinah back in the middle of the 19th century, and she flickers through the records, sometimes appearing as Dinah and at other times as Diana - but it's always her, all right. That suggests to me that there might be a possibility of confusion, especially in today's world when Diane, Dianne, Dina and Deanna are also in the mix.
I had an old tabby cat that we named Alice (Alice the Alley Cat), and when we got a new kitten I named it Dinah in honour of Alice in Wonderland's cat. Eight years later, Dinah is still going strong and her name gets compliments, even from unexpected humans.
For a human, Dinah Lucy, Dinah Louise, Dinah Margaret, Dinah Suzanne, Dinah Helen and Dinah Clare would all work for me.
