I was in elementary school with a Danae, had no idea it was Greek!

Pretty, elegant, short and sleek name. It's probably one of those unique names where you need to correct people on its spelling and pronunciation, the first time you meet new people (though I think once you get past that initial stage, it shouldn't be too big of a hindrance).
I like that Danae sounds very modern, though it has roots in history and mythology. I love it only if pronounced "dah-nay", and I'm pretty sure that's the instinctive pronunciation for most people.

Is it true? It is a greek name, meaning "burned ground", but I didn't know it had a meaning in French, too.

That's my name, Danae. As a girl I didn't like it very much, but now I really do! I Appreciate that it is kind of unique...although pronunciation is really a pain, I always have to say it twice so people get it right. My nick name is Dana, or Deina.
