I like the name Dana.
It is the name of a cartoon character i used to like when I was a kid. It means `the big pearl` in arabic. Is this name fashionable in U.S and Europe? Is it a wise choice for a baby girl?

It's a great name. Fairly common in both US and Europe.
It crosses educational and economic lines.
I had a friend in primary school named Dana. She moved before secondary school, but we were good friends before that.

In some countries in Europe the name Dana is used, in some not, but my guess is that it fits ok in most European countries, it won't be considered very weird or anything.

In Serbia, Dana is very popular. It's nickname for female name "Danica", which came from the noun "dan", which means "the day".
If a girl is born during the day, she has more chances to get that name :)
Best regards from Belgrade!

No. It is a terrible name. It is the name of my brother's father and he is a horrible man. Why not just name her Pearl?
