So, I really love the name
Della. I always have. I think it's got a really pretty sound to it, and I think it's just a really happy name! I heard that it's a diminutive of
Adela, which is okay, but a little frilly for my tastes. I'm kind of looking at it like it's really just a variant of
Adela, rather than a nickname. Sort of like how
Lucy comes from
Lucia. Do you think
Della stands well on its own? I honestly don't think it looks like a nickname anyway. What do you think?
