Hi DTG,

I wanted to respond to you over here (: I got a little off topic in GU, as my curiousity got the best of me. I pronounce my name the same way, but have had people call me Dara (rhymes with Sara), Data, Deidra, and even Delia? I have only met two other females with the same name. It is not even listed as a name in most Baby Name Books. My mom named me after an ancient kingdom in Northern England (now Yorkshire). I think it means water or oak. I had also heard of Deira, Dubai and I'm glad you confirmed it is in the UAE (: I've also discovered asteroid #1244 is named Deira. I find this really cool, because when I was little I hated my name for being so different.
