I like it but I wouldn't use it. It sounds trendy, even though it's not. Plus I know heaps of girls who have it as a middle name, weirdly enough. A Lily Danae, a Sylvia Danae, a Cayley Danae, a Jade Danae, a Hannah Danae and a Victoria Danae Rose. They all pronounce it dah-NAY and I doubt the parents knew the background of the name. I think most just thought they made it up. I've seen Linnae and Janae as well. Cayley Danae is the niece of Sylvia Danae so it was honoring. In Lily's case her mother was named Dana.

I'd pronounce it with three syllables. I guess the correct pronunciation would be DAN-ay-ee or dan-AH-ee. dan-AH-ee would be my favorite, I guess.

Overall a nice name but one that would cause A LOT of confusion and will be perceived as trendy by many.
