There will of course be references to the song, though she may fare slightly better than a Clementine, I think. :) I really love it, though, but only prn. DYE-nah (not DEE-nah).

I think Dinah is a classic. I don't relate it to any song at all. It'll defintely age well.

I think of the cat in Alice in Wonderland, but I love it. It is spunky and cute, yet I think it will age well.

I like it. My only association with it is the cat in Alice in Wonderland.

I love this name. I think it is cute yet will age quite well. It's a favorite of mine/

It's pretty. But the story behind the name is too sad to my taste. By the way, I pron. it the Hebrew way, deen-ah. :)
I don't know the song - and I think I prefer the spelling Dina.

It makes me think of a few Dinahs...the song "Dinah, is there anyone finer...", Dinah Washington, and Dinah Shore. I really like it, and don't feel its dated. It's definately a good name for all ages. I'm surprised it's not more popular.

I do automatically think of the song "Dinah" as performed by Dhango Reinhardt, but I suspect that's not quite what you mean. :)

Dinah is a very snappy little name--after the song, I'm reminded of Alice's kitten in Alice in Wonderland. I wish there were more little girls named Dinah, because it's just lovely.
