ArchivesRe: Diana/Dayana/Daiana
in reply to a message by Norah Namenerd
Your friend is correct about Dayana and Daianna. For a Spanish-speaker, these approximate the English pronunciation of Diana. As another example, Brian is sometimes spelled Brayan by Spanish-speakers.
It is also correct that in Spanish, Diana is similar to dee-ah-na.
Deyana and Deiana, however, would be pronounced in Spanish something like "Day" (the English word)-ah-na.

Thanks!!!
I have another question about Spanish names... B and V
I've seen names spelled interchangeably with Bs and Vs, that is
Biancé, Viancé
Esbeidy, Esveidy
Vanessa, Banessa
etc. Are these pronounced the same in Spanish?

Yes, they are. In Spanish, B and V have exactly the same sound [b].
