Meanings
plural Dianes
- A female given name from Latin, popular in the middle of the 20th century
Oddly enough, there was a woman involved. I remember nothing about her except her name: Diane. It was an improbable name in connection with Bertie, particularly in the wilds of Kent. However, Diane was there.
