Dh has suggested this, but I'm not sure of the correct pronunciation and we don't agree.
Can you help?

Opinions welcome too.

Dine-ah. Never heard it pronounced with an 'r' at the end before.

The R is SE Englandese for 'ah' -- a silent R if it's there and a pronounced R if it's not as in Dinah (which I would pronounce as dye-nah). Being Irish, it used to make me LOL when I first joined MN to see people writing it down as if everyone pronounced/didn't pronounce it as in the Home Counties...
