Deana

Feminine form of Dean perhaps?

I prefer Deanna (Dee-AN-uh) :D I know someone whose name is pronounced like Deanna but spells it Deana.

I have the name "Deanna" and my name originates from both of my parents. "De" from my dads last name De Fabis, and Anna from my mothers middle name. That's how I got my name.

My name is Deanna and while I've met quite a few girls/women with my name, never a Deana. It sounds much worse and lazily coined is maybe why.

This is my name, and I absolutely HATE it! I blame my dad for the spelling of one 'n', resulting in people calling me 'Dee-nah.' My dad's excuse for spelling it that way is because "It's the 'Old-World' way."
