Personal experiences with the name Dawna: | Edit: Dawna is the name I was given, and so many times people have commented that it's unusual, and some think I must have changed it from the more commonly known "Donna". To me, the two names have a completely different character, and the name Dawna always brings to mind a vision of light. In some parts of the United States, for example where I live, the two names are pronounced identically. In other parts of the country, the first vowel of Dawna and Donna varies in sound.
