I never thought I would consider such a common name, but I want something my husband, who is [name_f]Indian[/name_f], will also like. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is too common? What about it’s potential to be teased? Die [name_f]Diana[/name_f], Etc.
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] is actually from before [name_m]Roman[/name_m] mythology even; it has roots in ancient pre-Sanskrit Indo-European religions as well as connections to modern Hinduism (with different spelling).
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] is beautiful! Classic, feminine, gorgeous and powerful. I love the references to the goddess and [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]. I don’t think it’s that common among babies today- both the Dianas I know are over 50 and I’ve never met any children or teenagers named this. I just graduated from high school and there wasn’t a single one in my year.
I love the name [name_f]Diana[/name_f]! It is beautiful, classic, and matures well. Although it feels a bit dated/mom name style, it’s more current than [name_f]Diane[/name_f], and I know a teenage [name_f]Diana[/name_f] who fits her name perfectly. I don’t think teasing potential is an issue, and I would definitely consider using it on one of my future children one day. I love the goddess connection.
I like it! Very pretty, and nice for both a little girl and a grown woman.
I had a student named [name_f]Diana[/name_f] and a co-worker. It worked for my student even though it seems a little dated. The history behind the name [name_f]Diana[/name_f] outweigh the fact it was popular decades ago.
All of this. Except I’m in my 30s and knew only one growing up (around my age) and none since then. I also don’t really care about the association to [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] (no offense and all due respect – just not my thing), but it doesn’t sour the name at all for me. I would absolutely love to meet a little [name_f]Diana[/name_f]. I don’t think it’s dated at all. [name_f]Diane[/name_f]? Yes. [name_f]Diana[/name_f]? No way. Classic all the way. And definitely not common, at least around where I live, where you’re much more likely to run into a [name_u]McKinley[/name_u], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], or [name_f]Olive[/name_f] (I know at least two of each of those) than a [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and not even one [name_f]Diana[/name_f].
[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]! Beautiful!
I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] that name! It is elegant, classic, and very strong. It isn’t too common either.
I like the sound of [name_f]Diana[/name_f] a lot. I don’t think it sounds too common. I only know [name_f]Diane[/name_f]'s, and few to none in actuality. [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is very sweet.
I don’t think [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is a particularly common name for babies these days, and don’t know any [name_f]Diana[/name_f]'s my age either (late 20’s). Whilst it’s not a name I would use myself, it’s an elegant name with a lot of history. If you love it, go for it!
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] is one of my very favorite girl names. It’s sleek, classy, and beautiful. It’s also heard of but not too common—I’ve hardly known any Dianas and I’ve only met two or three at work. Children your daughter’s age most likely won’t make any [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] references since she’s been gone so long now that they won’t know who she is.* And Wonder Woman is [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] of the Amazons. I think it’s well-known enough that it can be used cross-culturally, especially if you know it has ties to your husband’s culture/heritage. It’s a pretty awesome name, all in all.
*My mother nicknamed me [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] for the first eight years of my life, and for almost all of that time, I thought it was a silly, endearing nickname she made up. [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] of Monaco died seven years before I was born, so I had no idea what she was referencing and I still like the nickname.

I like the name [name_f]Diana[/name_f], I think it is really pretty. I have a little cousin named [name_f]Diana[/name_f]. She is around 4-5. It is definitely uncommon
I love the name [name_f]Diana[/name_f]. It is classy, beautiful, and not too common. It has good connections (princess [name_f]Diana[/name_f], the roman goddess). I just think it is a bit outdated and wouldn’t particularly fit a child.
