Danae is a Latin name and has two syllables. The first syllable 'Dan-' is pronounced as the 'dan-' is pronounced in dance. The last syllable '-ae' is a diphthong and are pronounced together as the 'a' in bathe is pronounced.

Danaë is the way this name was listed in the past. The umlaut over the 'e' indicates that this is not a dipthong and the a & e should be pronounced separately. And according to Stearn, the proper pronunciation is da-NAH-eh.
