Re: Celia or Delia?
Celia. Apart from being Shakespearean, and linked in my mind with the delectable name Rosalind, its "heavenly" meaning appeals to me, whereas "woman from Delos" is a bit obscure really.
I absolutely resist seeing Celia as a short form of Cecilia, as some people do, because although I like Cecilia (and Cecily) and the Cici nn I shudder at the meaning!
