My husband's name. And people constantly mispronounce it the first way. Even for a man.
Yes, also my husband’s name. It particularly gets pronounced DAHN-ah by Spanish speakers, which makes sense. I’ve never met someone who actually pronounced it that way on purpose, but if I did I’d assume it was because their family spoke Spanish/French/Italian. I wouldn’t think it was pretentious.

Thought of more; pretentious nicknames for young children
Examples; Elizabeth nicknamed Betty (for a kindergartener), Kitty for Katherine, Hank for Henry,Dottie for Dorothy. Ugly-chic and try hard.
My Dottie-for-Dorothy mom from a working class family would die laughing to hear that’s it’s pretentious and try-hard.
None of these nicknames are pretentious. All are working class. Some crossover on the class level. But none are pretentious in the least.
