Re: Delaina?

I know a Dalaina, but she spells it Dalena. (She still pronounces it Dalaina). I do like it better than Delaney, becuase Delaney is a surname and I don't like surnames as fns for girls.

I prefer Dalena over Delaney since it seems like Dalena would age better than Delaney would. The spelling Delaina seems made up to me, but Dalena can be a shortened version of Magdalena if I'm not mistaken.
