Elizabeth. If it were Diana, I’d think again.

Elizabeth

Diane is fine with the French pronunciation. Which, where I live, it never gets. diANN, dyeYANN, daYANN ... I would always go for Diana, though only as a mn to avoid Di as a nn. Or Dinah; a different name but a similar and very nice sound.

I used Elizabeth as my daughter's first mn. As with Diana, I wouldn't use it as a fn to avoid nns, most of which I dislike. It is a beautiful name and also used in my and DH's families: what's not to like?

Diane

I think I prefer Elizabeth, but they are both good names. Diane kind of sounds like you are telling someone named Anne to die, though.

I both like them.
