Damiana´s pet forms are Dami(a), Mia, Damka, Daminka, Damushe, Daya, Dasha.

I think this is a pretty, sophiticated, and in Italy, not so common name, in the US, a rare name. The pronunciation works well in both countries and it is very nice sounding.

Damiana is a plant native to Mexico commonly used as an aphrodisiac and tonic.

Italian pronunciation:

Dah-MYAH-Nah

"A" as in "Father," in other words "Dah." Stress your "I" to "EE" and follow with another soft "A"-- MEE-AH-- blend and the result is "Myah." Finish with the final "A." [noted -ed]
