It's funny how my mom decided to use it

What about you miss Phantom? You're the one who made the thread, gotta tell us

You have a really pretty name, Amanda!
My name is Dana. My dad chose that name for me because 'Dana' is Arabic and it refers to a specific type of pearl. I personally don't like it. I think it sounds harsh and not very feminine.

Aww I actually love my name Dana lol
It’s way more common in Kuwait tbh, since in the old days men used to go diving for pearls for months so they can afford their living for their family. Although, there are so many things that are pretty dark from that time that I personally don’t like. I can talk about it though if you’d like..
Anyway, both my sister and I’s names are an Arabic version of pearl. And no, it wasn’t on purpose since my dad is not creative and named us after each of his grandmothers….
But THANK GOD my mom didn’t name us. The names she had picked for us were SO Syrian (she’s half-Syrian). I already look different from the average Kuwaiti girl and got lightly bullied for looking Syrian in school so if my name also stood out like a sore thumb it won’t be very nice
