Diana is a very classic name with an interesting back story and associations. Daphne makes me think of Nepal because they sell a lot of Daphne flower paper to tourists there. Both nice. Diana is perhaps better in that it’s linguistically fairly nuetral and it won’t be an issue at all if she moves abroad. All European countries have that name and itswell recognised in othe parts of the world as well.

I love Daphne even if it is a little Enid Blyton. Such an unusual flower name. However I think she'd get Daffy all the time which isn't a very cool derivative

Daphne! Diana is a bit plain and dated

Sadly in Scotland Daphne’s isn’t a good name (dumpy Daphne and her glamorous sister Maggie)
