I always thought it was a dull name really, but as I got older I noticed peoples attraction to it. Some are fascinated that it can be used for a boy or girl. A lot of older people like to tell me how it use to be more popular for a boys name. I've even met people who's last name is Dana. They love that it's my first name. I get a lot of compliments on how pretty it is. So I guess it's not so dull after all." (Report as inappropriate)
