My husband and I do standardized testing for English language learners and often come across some doozies of names. 'Diana' is one in particular people like to screw with. We see 'Dayana' so much that I wonder if it's not a popular name in Mexico or something. Today, I came across a Dallana. WTF.

Heh, I met a Dajana a few years ago. Never seen that name before, but I assumed it's a way to make sure the name is pronounced the English way. Hee, didn't know that's an international thing.

It's incredibly common, you wouldn't believe.
