Help me settle a bet -
How do you pronounce "Daina" (you know, the Oktober Guard girl sniper "Daina"). I KNOW it's not "Diana" like Princess Diana, the late former Princess of Whales. I say it's pronounced "DAH-EYE-NAH" or "DAH-INAH", what say you? .

I always thought it was "DAY-NUH"
But at the end of the day it never mattered to me, so it could be something else entirely.

Die-Nuh.
At least that's how the online Lativian girl said it. |

Good question, I'd like to know the official answer.
I always used Day-na. |

The last part is definitely a "NA" (hello, it's last two letters are "N-A"

The "I" is what's throwing me.
I'd say "Day" too if it were spelled "DAYNA", but the "I" makes me think it's more of a "DA-EYE-NAH". ????????

Pronunciations are culturally subjective. I would assume the ai is an attempt to romanize a sound English doesn't have, or has just been poorly assigned a spelling. Since it is a Russian name there may be spelling variations.
