How would you pronounce...

Deian

I saw it on some TV credits and I'm curious. Dee-ee-an? Dee-an? Die-an?

Dee-un on a boy
Dee-anne on a girl.

Deyan?

Same - I think I've come across it in an Asian context with that pn

Dion?

Day-ann would be my first guess. Day-on if a boy.

I'm going to go with Diane. A really, really stupid way to spell Diane.

I would pronounce it Day-an, dei is Latin

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

I immediately read it as DEE-an, though I guess DAY-an would technically be, er, most correct.

"babynamespedia" has de-ian and dei-an as the pronunciations.
