I love the name Danae. It is very pretty. But I hate how people change lovely names into utter trash: D'Nae. That's just wrong. It's like me (Sierra) being named C'Erra. Eww. Let pretty names stay pretty.
I first came across this name when I saw the painting "Danaë" by Gustav Klimt, and I loved it right away. The only problem is there are so many ways of pronouncing Danaë, I'm not sure which one I'd use. From that spelling, I get da-NA-ee, which I think sounds very graceful and pretty. And I really like Dana as a nickname for Danaë.

This name is just weird in all the ways of pronouncing it.

Nice name, I've always liked it. I had a friend who spelled it with an E instead though. Denae. And she pronounced it DEH-nay.
I think this is one of the most beautiful names there is. I just love it! If I ever have a daughter, I will name her Danae. I think both the name and the nickname Naná are so cute!
