[Opinions] Della
What do you think of Della and what combos do you like using Della?
Does the fact it means "of the" in Italian put you off? Thanks!

Della MadeleineI just take the name as a variant of Adela or Adelaide, like it says on here and then it means "noble". The "of the" meaning doesn't bother me though, not really.

I like it. I knew a Persian girl called Delaram who shortened her name to Della. I can't think of many combos; the only name that goes naturally for me with Della is Della's surname.I'm not put off by the Italian interpretation.X

I don't speak Italian so I think of Della as a nn for Adela more. Della Margot
Della Catherine
Della Sophie
Della Phoebe
Della Jacqueline
Della Marion
Della Juniper
Della Suzanne
Della Cassandra
Della Vivien
Della Sandrine
Della Charlotte / CarolineIf you're still nervous about Della, hve you considered Delia instead? The vowel sound is different, but it feels like it can stand on its own better. Delia Genevieve is my stock combo for her.

Yes, Delia is a possibility. But I prefer Della. Thanks.

I love Della. I think it's very unexpected, but it still sounds familiar. If it's being used in an English-speaking context, then, no, what it means in Italian doesn't bother me. It doesn't have that meaning in English. I prefer it as a nn anyway.Combo suggestions:Della Bryony
Della Charlotte
Della Ruth
Della Harriet
Della Florence
Della Violet
Della Margot
Della Therese
Della Verity
Della Caroline
Della June
Della Beatrix
Della Ivy
Della Vivian
Della Rosalind
Della Josephine
Della Veronica
Della Magdalena
Della Ophelia
Della Frances
Della Ingrid
Della Marilyn
