54.0. "Denae" by 8672::WOOD (Celeste Wood) Fri Oct 17 1986 22:33

    My sister-in-law named her new daughter Denae. {Pronounced De -nay}
    
    I think it is a nice name.  It resembles a feminine form of Daniel
    or Dana.  Have you ever noticed that people tend to be a lot more
    creative with daughters names than with son's?
    
    Another thing about this name is that it does not have a lot of
    potential for misspelling or mangling by cruel kids.

	I have heard that name only once before. A friend I knew in California had a daughter by that name. She must be about 15 years old by now. I always thought it was pretty and different. And yes, it does seem to be true that most people are more conservative with boys names. More worried about their business image as an adult, maybe? Robin
54.2	Daniel--Danielle	24955::TAYLOR		`Fri Jul 17 1987 08:58`	4
	Another female version of Daniel is the name Danielle. This was the name of a friend of mine in High School.

	James Dobson, the well known doctor who gave us "Dare to Discipline" named his daughter Danae (I'm not sure of the spelling). -FYI-
54.4	another Denae	OKEY::THIBAULT		`Tue May 23 1989 22:27`	4
	Just for the record, we were really taken with the name Denae and just gave our new and third daughter the name Denae Theresa. PT
54.5	Danae???	SHALOT::ANDERSON	Give me a U, give me a T...	`Fri May 26 1989 11:14`	11
	Never heard of Denae, though I have heard of Danae (re .3). She was some maiden who was impregnated by Zeus in the form of a shower of gold, and later gave birth to Perseus. Never could quite figure out how to pronounce it -- something like DAN-uh-ee. Is Denae the same thing? Where did you get the Duh-NAY pronunciation from? Interesting that people thought this was somehow related to Daniel. -- Cliff
