I know a guy with this name at my school. He is named Delano (duh-LAH-noh) and he is a really cool guy. Dresses very fashion forward but with the other pronunciation (DEHL-uh-noh) I think of FDR.

I've personally born the name Delano for 41 years now, I love it.
I'm surprised this name isn't used more; it's quite a nice name, despite being a bit surname-y. It's more of a soft masculine name than a hard masculine name, and it makes me picture a guy with a rather dark aesthetic. I like it.
