Delaney?

sherm1190

Can I get your thoughts on Delaney for a little girl?  Any MN suggestions?  Our last name is also three syllables and ends with an n.  

Thanks in advance!

I really like Delaney! MNs: Rose, Grace, Ann, Mae, June?

Meh. I don't hate it or love it

I had a student named Delaney and she is one of the cutest, spirited little girls ever! Plus, it is still unique..your child won't be in a classroom with a bunch of Delaney's. If you like it, go for it.

Near the top of my  Dislike list.........I don't know why, I just really don't like this name. I know a couple of delightful little girls with this name and it doesn't change anything for me.

Have you thought of Della?

Love it.

Love - on my girl list!  I think it pairs well with a short/simple middle name.  Rose, Rae, Jane,?

I really like it as well. I would also go with a shorter mn. I have a hard time making mn suggestions though because I usually like them to be family names or have some sort of meaning. So, sorry, no suggestions here...but total love for the name!

Not a fan. To me that's a last name.

I posted about this name a few months back! I love love love it!

I really like Delaney but can't get DH on board. I agree that a shorter MN probably works best.

I love it! We are using it as a middle name for DD2! If we had used it for a first name, I probably would have wanted a one syllable MN. My middle name is Blair so we might have gone with that.

Am I the only one who can't get passed the "dark challenger" meaning?

My Delaney's mn is Grace (which is a family name).  We call her Dee, Lady Dee. I had total plans on calling her Laney but that wasn't who she is. No regrets here. But people either love it or hate. I get a lot of 'that is awesome, love it' and many 'oh, what do you call her?' I smile every time I say it!

Super cute!

My Delaney is Delaney Nicole....clearly I think the name is a great choice.

I absolutley love this name. I watch a little girl name Delaney Evein. I find it unique and flows nicely. Good luck!

amberpro

I love it.  I think Delaney Rose has nice flow.  With 3 syllables in a first and last name, I thing a MN needs to be a single syllable unless you are honoring someone.

It's ok, i think it is getting more popular, but I have never met a Delaney

So funny that you suggest this....Della is my mother's name!  I think it's lovely but she's always hated it and goes by her MN.  We were trying to find another take on Della,

I love it too! I would concider it.........I promise you, if you use Della, your mom would love her real name more then she ever has!!
