Middle for Dana

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you ever start to like a name just because there’s one positive association for it? This podcaster/author [name_u]Dana[/name_u] (Schwartz, and check out here new YA novel “Anatomy: A [name_u]Love[/name_u] Story”!) has given me an appreciation for a name I’d never paid much attention to and sort of found dated.

The point: now I love [name_u]Dana[/name_u] and need some combo ideas for my list. Ideas with middles I usually use are [name_u]Dana[/name_u] [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] and [name_u]Dana[/name_u] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. What middles do y’all like with [name_u]Dana[/name_u]?

I feel like [name_u]Dana[/name_u] works with any middle – its so versatile! [name_f]My[/name_f] mom’s hairstylist is named [name_u]Dana[/name_u], but it’s not a name I hear often, so its fresh yet familiar!

I love [name_u]Dana[/name_u] because of the X Files character [name_u]Dana[/name_u] [name_m]Scully[/name_m] (whose MN is Katherine)!

I think [name_u]Dana[/name_u] is really versatile and lends itself many different styles of middle, as with [name_u]Dana[/name_u] [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] - they both sound great.
