HelpDella
Della is my Great Grandmother's first name. She will be 91 in September! While she's gone by her middle name her whole life, a name I don't care for, I do think that Della is sweet and refreshing! She doesn't have anything against Della her parents just called her by her middle name growing up. My husband and I have tossed around Della Katherine, Della Josephine "Della Jo" and Della Rose. From my top five girls name list, the only one that works with Della is Della Faith. Also I just thought of Della Charity? So what do you think?

I love Della. If we weren't set on Cordelia if we ever have a girl, Della would probably be a name I would be pushing for. Della Josephine is actually my go-to combo. I know someone who named their daughter Josephine Della, but I thought it sounded better flipped. When I posted here about it, someone pointed out that it sounded like "Joe's a fiend, Ella," and I can't get that out of my head. Anyway, I love Della Josephine. Della Jo has a bit too much Southern twang to me. Della Rose sounds Southern to me too. I'm not sure why.
Della Katherine is also nice, although I think I prefer Della Catherine.
I'm not a fan of Faith, but Della Faith sounds fine, I guess. I don't like Della Charity.
Other ideas:
Della Margot
Della Margaret
Della Verity

I remember first hearing this name as a kid and thinking how lovely it is. All the names you mentioned work well with Della in my opinion. Della Faith and Della Rose are particularly nice though. Della Rosemary would also be pretty.
