User Comments about the name Dana
Comment left Mar 19, 2009: "I'm a Dana (pronounced Dayna), and I've never really liked my name, because it's too unusual. I've been called Danna, Donna, Diana, Dinah, Deena...you name it...everything but the right thing. You'd think in 60 years, I'd be accustomed to that, but I still wish I had a more common name."
