I had never heard this name before, and sat by a little girl named Delaney in church Sunday. WDYT? Too cutsey? Won't age well?

    Its a little trendy for me. I would worry that it wouldn't age well.

    It sounds like a last name to me.

    I definitely wouldn't say it's trendy!!! That being said, I am not a fan.  I do think it would "age" fine though.

    NMS, It reminds me of Franklin Roosevelt. I also knew a woman named DeLana and I didn't like her. I think it will age well, though.

    I don't like it, but I love the nn Laney. Maybe Lane, nn Laney?

    Delaney's been around for a long time, I don't think it's trendy. I like it but I loathe the nn Lainey.

    This exactly!! I hate how nicknames can really ruin a name! We both also like the name Giana but I think I would vomit if someone ever called her Gigi! Looks like I'm changing my mind on Delaney too!

    Yeah, I wouldn't name my child something where I hated the nickname (although i think Gigi is kind of cute). Good luck!

    I've never liked this name. It's one of those trendy names that I refuse to accept (others include Harper, Sloane and Liam). I don't think it ages well also.

    I've always thought it was pretty.  Martina McBride has a daughter Delaney.  She could always go by Lane or Lanie when she got older if she wanted to.

    this is why I took Genevieve off my list  I don't like Jen or Jenna...just not worth the risk.

    I love Laney as a nn for names such as Melanie, Elaine, etc... Delaney makes me think of "duh laney"... so in other words, no, I am not fond of it.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    I knew a girl named Delaney. She was very rambunctious and that's what I think of when I hear that name. nms

    Before my brother was married he dated a woman named Laney Delaney. Horrible i know! Delaney is not bad at all. although it is cutesy IMO i think it would age well and if it suits you then go for it.

    NMS, but it isn't necessarily a bad name.

    I love it.  It's at the top of my list.  It's an English name but is a typical Irish last name.  I like it for the Irish qualities it has!  I don't think it is trendy.
