Horrible name for one reason: It makes me think of Delta Math because in my school we used to use a thing called Delta math to study. And math is my least favorite subject so to me this name sucks.
If I wanted kids (I don’t) and had a daughter, this would be my first suggestion.I think change is the only constant over time, and we should always be looking to make a difference, small or big. To this end, I think Delta is beautiful and symbolic.
Well the coronavirus variant ruined it for me. I don’t want to be mean to those who have this name, however I would never name my kid this at the moment.
To be honest, I thought this was a more modern name, but looking at the popularity chart, apparently not. I find this name and other river-related names to be better than just simply "River". Easily one of my favorite names. Also, when "Delta" gets older, she could sign her name in the triangle symbol used to represent "Delta".
Again, never go to Greece with this name. Also, in Greek the letter Δ makes kind of a th sound, depending on what your accent's like and what other letters are around it. So while in English it's properly Delta with a hard D, you could make a justification for pronouncing it Thelta (not that that name is any nicer than Delta).
Sometimes I've seen delta used as a pseudo-poetic term for the external female genitalia.
