I don't like it. Because of the racecar association, it seems like a tacky name to me. But I have met a girl with this name and she pronounced it da-NEETZ-a, the Italian way. I don't really like that either, though.

That isn't the Italian pronunciation, it's the original Slavic and the way the name is supposed to be pronounced. It's also the reason why I hate it in English and can't stand Danica Patrick and the anglicized pronunciation she has popularized.

OhWell the girl I met was of Italian heritage, so I guess I just assumed. Cool though, makes me able to dislike the Danica Patrick pronunciation even more.

Yeah, the tacky NASCAR association is what puts me off of it, as well. I mean, I still like the name, but I probably wouldn't use it in real life.
