Diana is a good name. I would spell it with one 'n'.

Diana I like Dyanna or seen Dyanneh

It's pretty, strong, and not too common for little girls these days. I'd definitely go with Diana. Dianna strikes me as a bit dated because it's close to Deanna, which seems dated and on the trendy side to me.

I absolutely love Diana. It's so elegant and timeless, and I would say it's also underused currently. I don't care for the Dianna spelling at all- it always seems off to me whenever I see it. Just one N will do for me.

For me there's still a bit of an association with the Princess, but not too strong. Diana is fine enough I see no need for the second n. And I find Ana with one n intoxicating as a nickname. I like it for Alana too.

I really like it, only spelled Diana.

It immediately makes me think of Diana Barry from the Anne of Green Gables series. She's one of my favorite characters in it, so that's a good association for me.

It's a lovely and strong name.

I think it's pretty.

I prefer Dianna, I don't know why :)

I've never been a fan of the English pronunciation, die-AN-uh, but several years ago, I met a lady from Costa Rica (I think) and she pronounced her name dee-AH-ah. I loved it.

Re: the spelling, definitely Diana.

I like it. It's pretty. I prefer the spelling Diana.

I think it's a pretty name and I don't think it's too associated with the gone-but-not-forgotten Princess of Wales, as some do. I definitely prefer the spelling Diana. The extra N just messes up its clean lines.

Great name. I like both spellings but I like Diana more.

I really like Diana a lot, but I'd think twice about using it as a fn because Di has got to be the most boring nn imaginable.

As for Dianna, it would have me looking around in search of Monoanna. I just don't see the point of it at all.
