Diana

The name "Diana" has always struck me as polished, refined, and very mature. One of the names I've always wanted as a child.

---

Classy and elegant. If reincarnation turns out to be the true outcome of afterlife, I would like my new mother to name me this.

A very pretty name, you can't go wrong with Diana.

What a beautiful name I love it whoever has a problem with this name is just a pathetic loser who wishes their name was as pretty and classy as Diana.

Beautiful and elegant. Pretty meaning too.

Diana, the name itself is very elegant.

Sure. Diane and Diana have the same meaning of DIVINE. I would definitely prefer Diana over Diane cause Diane sounds old like Linda, Sue and Susan. A classic name that sounds perfect for BOTH young girls and middle aged women and older women... I would love to name someone Diana if she is gonna be my newborn baby after awesome model Princess Diana... not to mention Diana is also a goddess and also feels regal while Diane is much less substantial somehow...

It really is divine!

It's such a beautiful, classy, and elegant name. ❤❤.

Name of the day 4/4/2022
Love the name. Beautiful.

I like Kiana better.

A lovely name. However I do not like the nickname Di very much.

This name feels timeless to me. 10/10.

It reminds me of Diana from Anne with an E. I love it.

Diana is a nice name, and it always reminds me of the Princess of Wales who unfortunately had a tragic life, with a mother who abandoned her and a husband who never loved her back. :(

I do not like this name, it sounds horrible in my opinion and reminds me of the word "vadia" which is a Brazilian Portuguese variant of the b-word due to the "dia" and the /a/ sound in "va" in comparison to the "na" in the end of the name, not only that but it sounds like a late 1980's to mid 1990's name, not a good name in current times.

I think Diana is an incredibly beautiful name. It reminds me of the beloved Princess Diana, of course, which is a really sweet association, in my opinion. It ages gorgeously, too.
Overall, I think Diana is a wonderful name.

I like it. If there wasn't a person in my family named Dianne, I would use either Diana or Deanna which I think are beautiful names.

This is a very pretty name. It makes me think of Diana Berry. It's old-fashioned but very cute.

This is so beautiful, lovely, and heavenly. Any girl who has this refined name should feel lucky.

Better than Diane.

A refined name that is suitable for women of any age. I like it and this is one of my favorite old names!

Pretty and warm sounding.

Lovely and refined!

Beautiful.

Beautiful and mature sounding. I would definitely use this name if I could!

Diana is very beautiful and classic. I love the classic pronunciation of this very strong, feminine name. The name reminds me of the huntress Diana from mythology also.

I love this name, especially when it's spelled Dianna.

What a great name, with lot of class and also really feminine. Good name, fits for different woman.

What a beautiful name!

I prefer the English pronunciation.

Very pretty and mature sounding.

Diana is my mom's name and I love it so much! I think it's beautiful and I love that she's named for the goddess of the moon. I think the Greek equivalent Artemis is also cool, but to me Diana is a prettier name. If I ever had a daughter, I would give her Diana as a middle name. People often call my mom Diane even though she has never gone by that nickname. She doesn't like it but I think it actually bothers me more than her when people call her Diane lol. It's just not her name and it's not nearly as beautiful and elegant as Diana.

I prefer Deanna "Dee-AN-uh". :)

It sounds very mature and pretty.

Beautiful, ages well, and has a regal vibe to it.
I'd pronounce it "dee-aw-na".

Classical and melodious. Also a great length.

The name is alright. Not my favorite, but not terrible either. One of the reasons I don’t like this name is because of this annoying girl at my school who acts older than she really is and is unfriendly to anyone not in the “popular crowd”. Anyway, if parents are thinking of an alternate for the more popular Anna or Annabelle, this could be a good alternative.

The name is okay, but wouldn’t it be offensive to someone named Anna because it’s basically saying “Die Anna”? Just saying.

Diana is a lovely name which has a regal vibe to it. It's just the right length. Hard not to think of Princess Diana (: Not too common, however the nickname "Didi" makes me cringe.

Diana is such an elegant name.

This name is pretty and lively without sounding overly feminine. I really like the pronunciation Dee-Anna nearly as much as Die-Anna.

I like it. Underused, refined, and elegant.

Diane will never be as pretty as Diana PERIOD.

Diana is a very cool name.

Diana looks lovely, sounds lovely, and the meaning of the name is lovely. I also like Diana Barry from the book Anne of Green Gables.

Diana and Diane are both beautiful. Di is a sweet nickname. Dianne and Dianna are attractive as alternative spellings, and Deanne and Deanna are lovely variants.

I named my oldest daughter Diana. When I was pregnant with her in 1984 I was so excited and I wanted the most beautiful, classy, strong, elegant name I could think of. I chose Diana. The sound of it is beautiful, I love the strong huntress reference, and I adored Princess Diana, who was so kind and lovely- though she might still have been Lady Diana at the time.

An absolutely GORGEOUS classic name that, at least for me, will never be out of style. It's just so classy and sophisticated, but not so common anymore like in the 80s. Definitely in my top 3 names for a girl!

I don't have any problems even despite having a clear, slightly worn and dated stamp on it. I just can't get past the fact that it sounds like "Die Anna"
Same with Diane. Die-Anne. Like someone wants Anna and Anne dead.

Since this is my first name (although I don't go by it), I can say with 100% certainty, that no one is going to call you Dirty Diana. I have never even heard this before and I'm nearly 30 years old! Occasionally I'm asked if I was named for Princess Diana (of Wales). Only those who are familiar with mythology will ask about the goddess. Unfortunately, a lot of people end up calling me Diane (which drives me bat sh*t crazy) and I refuse to answer to that since it's not my name. My fiance loves my name and says it sounds elegant, refined, and timeless without being stuffy and pretentious. Smart man, that fiance ;)

A beautiful stunning name. It will never go out of style!

My name is Diana. I love my name. Not many Diana's where I live and I am Ok with that. I don't like to be called Diane! Thanks to Princess Diana of Wales, my friends and coworkers like to call me Princess or Lady Di. Which I am totally Ok with. My mother showed and had me listen to Paul Anka's song "Diana", which I am very fond of. I would also like to add that my middle name is Lynn. I think Diana Lynn is a nice combination.

This is my first name. My mother named me after the goddess. At first I thought it was rather boring, but now I've come to greatly love this name. I feel as if it suits me. I've never really been involved in society too much... it always confused me whenever children in my class saw me they'd sing "Dirty Diana". I don't care enough to listen to that song. I prefer my languages...

Diana is such a gorgeous, sophisticated, classy and beautiful name! :)

This is such a lovely name that is very uncommon nowadays, which is disappointing. It's a lot prettier and not nearly as dated as Diane, and has stood the test of time while Diane came and went in a few decades. I hope the name is revived in the next few years, I think Diana would sound so cute on a little girl!

I love this name; it is one of my favorites. Dani is a nice nickname for it.

I love this name and I love the association with Princess Diana.

Much prettier than Diane! Annie is a cute nickname, but Diana already sounds good on its own :)

I never liked my name growing up. I thought it was girly, dated, and didn't like being called Di. I even contemplated changing it. But I've grown to love it. Some associations with the name are Princess Diana, Wonder Woman, and the Roman Goddess of the Hunt. They represent strong women and I'm happy to be in their company!

I always think of the wonderful Princess of Wales- Diana Spencer when I hear the name, "Diana." I imagine someone as sweet and caring as Lady Diana Spencer was, and a person with something big to share with the world- a heart.

I have always liked my first name, especially since Princess Diana was only about 50 miles from where I was born, on the day I was born. Although, I was actually named for my mother's childhood friend. Unfortunately, a LOT of people will turn it into Diane. I hate Diane. It just sounds so blah and it simply isn't my name.

Diana is my middle name and I think it's beautiful. It's awesome to be named after an ancient goddess!

I love this name! So excited that it is falling in popularity!

The meaning is just gorgeous. I love this name. It makes me think of a kind, beautiful, and wealthy woman with pale skin and blond hair.

My name is Diana and I love it! My parents named me after Princess Diana because I was born in 1997. She was a great woman!
I also like the meaning of my name.

Despite my comment about Diana Mitford, I do like this name. I find it very pretty.

It's an okay name that could work on a variety of women. I like the association with the goddess.

Well, my name being Diana, I think I'm a good enough authority on it to say that I don't find it "boring and unimaginative" at all. I rather like it. It's not common enough that I ever had two or three others in my year at school. Perhaps I just don't hang around zealous Jackson fans, but I've never had anyone reference "Dirty Diana."

This name reminds me of Caroline because both names are just so sweet, pretty and feminine. I love it.

This name sounds so boring to me. Maybe it's because I think of my school librarian when I hear it, and she's really mean and boring. But on the other hand, I think of that Michael Jackson song "Dirty Diana", which makes me think of a really trashy, money hungry, seductive girl :|

I don't like the English pronunciation of this name. In fact, I hate it. The name reminds me of all these bland, boring, unimaginative names like Deanna, Brianna, and the likes, just with an uglier ''prefix'', so to speak. The name is pretty enough in European pronunciation.

Diana was a Huntress, so my impression is that it sounds a little masculine but still sounds beautiful and elegant.

It's a nifty name all right. Though I want to associate it with the elegance and grace it implies, and characters with this name (like from classic Hollywood films and the like), not because it is the Romanized name of a Greek mythical goddess. Too many names in this country (and my mind) have been associated with silly myths of gods and goddesses. However the only one that I find okay to associate with is maybe Venus/Aphrodite - but that's because it's probably more easy to get used to but I don't think I wanna associate them either. In fact I don't want to associate anybody. I think with Penelope and some unknown scattered names related to ancient tales and legends (such as Alcippe and Chloe) is enough for a matter, Diana is a nice name without it's link to mythology.

I used to like Dina more, but now I prefer Diana over it. Diana is classy name, full of history and the meaning is gorgeus. So wonderful name to a little girl, and still it fits older women, too. Diana is absolutely one of my favourite girls' name.

I hate this name, it sounds ugly!

This is my grandmother's name and I think it's beautiful. It suits her really well.

My favourite of all of the Greco-Roman goddesses is the goddess Diana (or Artemis) and though I wouldn't give it to a child, when I think of the name I straight away think of the strength and power of the goddess Artemis/Diana.

I believe that Diana is a beautiful, elegant name. Especially when combined with the name Marie. It suggests a type of elegance that many people may not possess. The name sounds enchanting no matter how it is said as well. The very name suggests adventure and imagination. But then, maybe I'm just a bit biased since it is the name I have been blessed to have.

Simply a beautiful name, prettier than Diane, in my opinion.

Diana is a very beautiful name indeed, I like the combination Diana Aurora or Diana Irene. :-)

Beautiful, 'divine' name.

Diana is a beautiful name, very elegant and has a beautiful meaning to it.

I agree with the Latin pronunciation. I have a friend named Diana but we pronounce it in the original Latin pronunciation (DEE-AHN-NA) not DIE-AH-NA. I think it is a sweet yet strong name with a beautiful meaning.

Diana sounds ordinary I think. Don't like it. Kind of like Gloria, Jessica, Hannah or something.

How pretty! 'Heavenly, divine', that's so sweet.
