Besides the fact that I like Diana and dislike Diane, any pair of names which would naturally lead to the same nicknames for both children is not cool in my books.
Yeah, it's weird that one letter can make so much of a difference, but it's true in a lot of cases for me ... I love Diana, Joanna, etc., but not the -anne variants. I see the same huge distinction between Anne and Anna on their own, but weirdly enough I like those pretty much equally.
