Diana. It has a lovely sound and I like the mythical association.
Diana. I always loved it.
Diana, all the way. Dalia will spend her entire life removing the h from Dahlia, and Davina looks closer to Divine than to David. Which is (a) wrong and (b) over-ambitious. Anyway, I like David far too much for a boy to ever use a form of it for a girl.
Diana has elegance and history. It also has the late princess, which I find unfortunate, and the nn Di, which I find ugly. So, mn only.
