It's a family name from back in the 19th century, so I've always been used to it. I like it very much, and Diana/Diane not at all. We got two rescue cat sisters once, and named them Alice the Alley Cat and Katie the Kitty. Then we took over another rescue kitten, pretty little black thing that had been ill-treated, and named her Dinah after, yes, Alice's cat. They ignored each other superbly, but the names worked for me. Given enough daughters, which one never is, I'd readily use Dinah for a human child.
