Demelza?

I first heard this name on Australia's Next Top Model a few years back and recently re-discovered it. I really like the nn Demi but DH does not like Demeter or Demetria. He is thinking about Demelza. It's a Cornish place name. Is it too weird? Any other ideas for a full name for nn Demi? 

I know Demi is often used as a given name but DH and I prefer longer names with nns- besides, I'm a French teacher and couldn't use a word like 'demi' as my daughter's full name!

Maybe its because I've had two beers tonight, but I like the sound of it. HOWEVER...

 It is very different.

I think I have to let it sink in a little.

I'm sad your DH doesn't like Demetria. That's so pretty! I think that'd still be my fave of your three choices, but Demelza would probably be second. I don't like Demeter - it reminds me of the body part, ureter.

Demi is a lovely nickname. I really like it.

I don't dislike Demelza. I might have to think about it for a bit to decide for sure. It sounds a little bit like a Gypsy, or something Disney would use as for an enchantress.

You have me really like Demetria, though.

I don't think it's at all pretty. I agree with others that Demetria is nice.

Demelza sounds like an evil witch from a Disney story or something. I do like Demetria..

Agree with the evil witch/step sister/gypsy comments . I like Demi as a nn though,

Demelza is the name of one of the Gryffindor students from Harry Potter!

I do like Demi as a nn, as pp have mentioned.
