In the UK..Dinah is dy-na and Dina is Dee-na like Dina Carroll, the singer.Dinah is old-fashioned but I think it gets used occasionally. I know of a teenage Dinah.Completely off-topic, I have never heard the expression "anywhere here else" and have to say it's confusing!

Not necessarilyI think because of the song most people would pronounce Dinah DYE-na. I'm speaking as a New Zealander, although I certainly can't talk for other people as the name is so out of use.
