HelpRe: Diana
in reply to a message by Andromache
It has a nice meaning but I never really cared for its sound. I like that it has a long history and Lady Diana is a nice association but that's about it. I dislike the nickname Di and for some reason the -ana part is a bit much for me even though I often love -ana names such as Eliana.
I much prefer Diane. Diane is strong and really down to earth. It shares Diana's great meaning but it is more relaxed. It is also less likely to get shortened because it only has two syllables.
I think Diane will have a huge comeback in 20 years or so. Diana not so much. It might rise a bit but that will be about it. It seems a bit 80s/90s to me and I think if it had the potential to become crazy common that would have happened in the 90s when Princess Diana was alive. In general I see all those long, feminine A-ending names falling over the next couple of decades and more down to earth names becoming popular instead. Instead of Isabella, Olivia, Sophia, Eliana, Ella etc. I expect to see names like Marlene, Diane, Rose, Joanne, Lucille, Camille, Ellen, Josephine etc. to be popular.
