Help[Opinions] Dinah
This name has been appealing to me lately. What to you think of it?
Is it too old fashioned? It often reminds me of "Dinah Doll" from Noddy, but I think that's quite a nice connection.
TIA

I also associate it with Alice and Wonderland
And because of that, I find it a very sweet and nostalgic name. I like it a lot.

I like it quite a bit. It's Biblical and old-fashioned but doesn't sound stuffy or stale, and it's not "weird" or too unusual, imo.
I think of Dinah Shore and "Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah..." from whatever song that is. :b Not bad associations, though. :)

It reminds me of the cat from Alice In Wonderland.

Oh, I think it's lovely. I immediately think of Alice's cat in Alice in Wonderland when I hear it. Dinah is sweet and jazzy--like Dinah Washington and Dinah Shore, dontcha know. :) Very, very cool.

I agree that the Biblical version isn't great, but I do love the book "The Red Tent" which retells the story of Dinah in a more Romantic way, because the bible doesn't often go into details about the patriarchal daughters, which makes me like the name much more.

Makes me think that song "I've Been Working on the Railroad." (Dinah, won't you blow? Dinah, won't you blow? Dinah, won't you blow your horn?)
I don't like it. I don't like the sound; the H looks unnecessary, and the song ruins it, too.
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.

I adoe Dinah. it makes me think of a cute prim proper girl with big eyes and long hair in a ruffled dress....that's just me though. I have also adored this name since I read a book called the "Red Tent" starring the Biblical Dinah. Love the name a lot.
