Dina/ Dinah confusion and I just don't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah/page/2#post-1855796 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 07:38:57 +0000 candymum 1855796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan at all sorry. I totally read it like "dinner" with my Aussie accent too which probably isn't what you're going for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah/page/2#post-1855777 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 07:17:18 +0000 Orchid 1855777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First thing that comes to my mind is Dinah's terrible experience in the Bible. Hope you find something that you both love soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah/page/2#post-1855757 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 06:56:19 +0000 night cheese 1855757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Dinah. It's old fashioned and pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah/page/2#post-1855628 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 21:32:35 +0000 MamaCate 1855628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: not a big fan of Dinah due to the song, but I like Eliza! LO has a cousin named Elise which I also like as a variation on case you hadn't thought of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah/page/2#post-1855575 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 20:42:58 +0000 travellingbee 1855575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't hate it but I can't say I like it. I do really like both Eliza and Lena. Very pretty. I don't think 2 L names is a big issue. We have an L boy and are considering another L name too for a second baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah/page/2#post-1855564 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 20:31:41 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1855564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like Dinah, but I love Eliza. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855536 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 20:08:40 +0000 meesker 1855536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it, especially the Die-na pronounciation. But we also gave our daughter a name connected with a classic children's song and it doesn't bother us at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855510 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 19:48:02 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1855510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We thought about this name but I was torn! I love it and don't at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855488 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 19:26:59 +0000 dolphin 1855488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855485 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 19:24:21 +0000 Ra 1855485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan.

I just can't get down with it now, which is a shame because we both really like it! Have also considered Eliza. (truth: we have considered just about every name in existence...but we agreed on Eliza for over 12 hrs, which is a long time for us!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855331 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:41:19 +0000 ladybee 1855331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am more traditional so it's not for me but I don't hate it! I really like @Boheme's suggestion :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855306 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:28:07 +0000 Pancakes 1855306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the names I lobbied hard for in this pregnancy was Susannah, so I wouldn't rule it out just for the song association, but that was a big drawback for my DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855298 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:21:52 +0000 Boheme 1855298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for pulling a name out of nowhere, or maybe I'm remembering this name from one of your other name threads(?), but have you considered Elsa? It sounds so sweet with your DD's name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855216 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:18:35 +0000 autumnlove 1855216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: no, I don't think it is cutesy at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855212 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:15:34 +0000 PurplePumps 1855212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pronounced Deen-na? I'd prefer it without the "h". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855209 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:12:26 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1855209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I think they go beautifully together. And continuing with L would be optional, I think. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855208 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:12:07 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1855208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its sweet.

Would I be bound to giving future daughters L names? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855201 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:07:55 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1855201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Thanks! Lena (pronounced either way) is one of my favorite names!</p> <p>ETA: There's a lesser-known (I think) song that goes with that name...but I have no room to talk when it comes to sing-able names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855199 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:07:43 +0000 autumnlove 1855199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I remember Salute Your Shorts..haha!

We are considering Lena though, pronounced that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855174 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 14:54:10 +0000 cmomma17 1855174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a Dina (pronounced Dee-na) and I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855150 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 14:44:01 +0000 loki 1855150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: ah didn't see that you mentioned the red tent too! sorry about that!<br /> @tororojo: it's a really great book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855149 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 14:43:53 +0000 Alivoo01 1855149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nuh uh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855146 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 14:42:14 +0000 tororojo 1855146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: I think it's part of I've Been Working on the Railroad?</p> <p>@loki: @Dandelion: came across the Red Tent in my googling, maybe I'll check it out! (We would say Die-nah. DH agreed to Zara and then vetoed it permanently, so sad!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855116 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 14:24:40 +0000 keiki_mama 1855116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan either... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-the-name-dinah#post-1855114 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 14:20:53 +0000 loki 1855114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it like Die-nah? Or Dee-na? I like the Dee-na pronunciation a lot more. Have you ever read the book The Red Tent? It's a historical fiction loosely based on the biblical story about Dinah. I think she pronounces Dee-na, from what I recall. Look it up! I prefer Zara :) </p>
