I used to be indifferent-leaning-towards-dislike for
Diana as I thought it be quite a dated, stuffy name - I especially (and still) think this about
Diane.
Growing up British also, I associated this name heavily with
Princess Diana of Wales, not a terrible namesake but one I couldn't shake when I heard the name and therefore could never imagine using it on a child myself.
With the rise of Wonder Woman, a new association for
Diana came into play, another strong female and I started to see the name in a more youthful light.
My husband likes
Diana a lot but I still can't bring myself to move it to our agreed first name list; it is, however, on there for middle names. And I wouldn't mind seeing a little
Diana running around as somebody else's offspring, I think I would be pleasantly surprised.
