HelpRe: Diana
in reply to a message by Andromache
I dunno, isn't it still too associated with the late Princess of Wales? Or maybe younger people who don't really remember won't make the association?
I like Diana pronounced like Deanna (as in the original Latin pronounciation) rather than Day-ana.
"We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”

Day-ana? I've never heard it pronounced like that (or maybe I'm reading it wrong?).
I only hear it pronounced Die-ANN-uh.

I'm not so sure. It might just be me, but I'm nearly twenty (and British) and much more inclined to think Wonder Woman or Roman goddess than Princess Diana. Whilst I do think of her, straight away, and her death was very tragic, but it all happened before I was born, and I don't feel any connection to her as many people around at the time seem to.

Princess Diana died in 1997. There are 20yos who were born after she died.
I imagine it will be like Princess Grace / Grace Kelly - younger generations won't have the association.
