Dante is a cool name with a lot of history. Even though it originated as a nickname for Durante (which I don't think gets any use anymore), Dante doesn't really sound like a nickname, but rather a strong name on its own. And the Divine Comedy is probably one of the most awesome literary associations one can have with a name (still would love to see an Inferno adaptation on the big screen someday).

All of this, of course, is considering Dante as a masculine name. It's an absolute no-go as a feminine name, just sounds wrong.
