[Facts] Re: Diana/Dayana/Daiana
Your friend is correct about Dayana and Daianna. For a Spanish-speaker, these approximate the English pronunciation of Diana. As another example, Brian is sometimes spelled Brayan by Spanish-speakers. It is also correct that in Spanish, Diana is similar to dee-ah-na. Deyana and Deiana, however, would be pronounced in Spanish something like "Day" (the English word)-ah-na.

Yes, they are. In Spanish, B and V have exactly the same sound [b].
