Deana/Deanna vs. Dina/Dinah vs. Deena/Dena

I want to honor a male family member named Dean but I'm having a girl. Which spelling of "dee-nah" would you choose? I worry about whether Deanna and Dinah will be pronounced the way I want as some people may say "dee-ANN-ah" and "die-nah". What are your thoughts? Thanks for your help!

Deena is the only one that makes sense to use. Deanna/Deana is pronounced Dee-Anna. And Dinah is pronounced Die-nah.

If you want Dee-na, I'd definitely go with the final pair of options. When I read t names, I assumed the first two were Dee-Ann-a and die-na before I read the description. Dena looks cleanest to me, so that gets my vote. Good luck!

I work with someone named Deana (pronounced Dee-nah) and people call her Dee-Anna all the time and she always has to correct them.
