I can't complain about the name Diane, it is my mum's name. Well her name is actually Barbara Diane but goes by Diane. It is a pretty name, very classy.

This is my middle name. I love that it is shorter than my first name Christina. I love saying it. Once in a blue moon my grams calls me Diane when she's mad at me. -.-

I think this name is cute and feminine and I would pronounce it dye-ann.

This is my best friend's name, she pronounces it dye-ann, not dee-un or whatever. Lol. I think that it's a very pretty, uncommon name and I love it.

Sounds like "Die, Ann!"

I've seen it spelt "Diyane".

This name sounds like the name of some wallflower-y, mousy, middle-aged woman who has gotten a little chubby and wears loose-fitting clothes. It also makes me think of somewhat dimwitted country girls and women from a few decades back. I actually hate the first syllable, and I think even names like Brianne and Deanne are better.

This is my mommy's name, so I naturally like it :) Even if it wasn't her name, I would still like it. It sounds very mature and sophisticated. :) I like so much more than Diana! Isn't it weird how adding on/taking off a syllable can ruin a name for someone? O_o

I understand that the name means queen of the hunt. I don't like this meaning. It's too war like. Also, it sounds like death. Die Ann. Although I really liked Princess Diana.

For some reason, every Diane I know is Asian. Now I can't even imagine a non-Asian named Diane.

-- gio2475  9/20/2008

I find it dated and ugly. It reminds me of death. Awful name.
