This may sound weird, but... the name in itself reminds me of a candle's flame dancing when you softly blow on it. It reminds me of the kind of person whose flame seems small and innocuous, but can rise fiercely if the candle is knocked over. That is to say, Candelaria is a generally calm person with a short temper -- and that quality can be good. The letters are streaked with radiant gold, and they flicker in much the same way that a candle does. For those of you not interested in my babble about perception and symbolism, it's simply beautiful. A marvelous choice.

It is kind of pretty, but it sounds a bit pretentious. Also sounds like a term for a candle shop or a name for a scented candle brand or a type of wine. I can't really see this on a person.

'Candelaria' one of the most beautiful names to grace my ears. It's by all means very significant and dear to my heart. Spanish seems to be more profound not only heard but felt as well.

This can be a surname, as it was the maiden name of my grandmother. It doesn't sound right as a first name to me, it sounds too elaborate.

This is a beautiful, refreshing name, very unique. Although Spanish is not as melodic as the similar sounding Italian, it could still be used in either language.

What a gorgeous name! I can just picture this dark-eyed beauty with lips the color of wine and a rose in her hair. It is just so elegant, and it sounds like the name of a devout Catholic, since it means Candlemas. All in all, a wonderful name.

To me, this name seems too long and pretentious to be used by a little girl. And people might shorten it to 'Candy', which I find atrocious. Bleh. I like the 'Del' part of the name, but the rest I dislike.
