Della
What do you think of Della? I'd use it as a nickname for Adele or Adelaide. I personally think it has a spunkiness that Addie lacks, and it's fresher than Ella.
As well, can you think of any other names it could be a nickname for?

I like it as a nn, but not as a formal name. I love Adele, Adeline, and Adelaide.
I love it, very cute, and Adella, Adelaide & Adelle are some of my favorite names (Adella is about #4 or #5 on my list)
Delilah & Delphine /a come to mind
I checked babyzone, and they have a lot of 'del' names, too many to post, so you may want to look there
A few select ones
Adelaida
Adelise/a
Adellinde
Andela
Ardella
Claudelle
Delcine (Loving this one)
Delma
Delora
Delores
Delphia
Fidela
Gwendelyn
Wendelin (cute, kind of like Gwendolen)

I don't mind Della though I wouldn't use it.
Yeah, I thought of Delta too, like flavie did. I tried to picture calling a woman Della, and I pictured her looking like Delta Burke. I think she was a TV actress at some point? All I remember is her gorgeous face, and her cool name.
I like Della too, but it's not my style enough to use it. You're right, it is sort of spunky, without being gritty like Addie. I guess I think it sounds Italian, sort of. Because of the word 'della' in Italian. Better as a nick. The name I like best for it is Delphine or Delphina.

I like Della but I like Delta better!!
Clarification...(m)
I know that there are plenty of other names it could technically be a nickname for (see here: http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=*del*&nmd=n&gender=both&operator=or), but I'm curious if you have any not on that list or if there are any in specific that you think would work well.
I'm also liking Candela right now.
