Help[Opinions] Um, Diana isn't an English name.
in reply to a message by Diana
Its Greek.
Just because names are used in English speaking countries does not mean that they are then pro. in an English way. They are still prounuced the way they were orginally. Alicia is a latinate name, therefore pronuced that way. Daphne is Greek, that is why its pro. Daff-ne. Etc, etc.

Re:
I didn't say Diana was an eng. name. How is it supposed to be pron. in a Greek way? I was mostly saying how most people say Diane, which is a totally diff. name. Maybe they both came from the same name but they're both said/sp. differently. I think MOST people (in America anyways)should say my name right, esp. because of how well known Princess Diana was.

You were complaining about how names were pro.
And said it didn't make sense. You compared to pro. of Diana to Kiana, and also the pro. of Alicia. I then explained that they are not English names, but used in England.
I have enough problems with my own name, which is Haven. Its a common word, but everyone pronunces it differently. Its because America has become an illiterate country.
