[name_m]Hi[/name_m] friends,

How do we all feel about the name [name_f]Delta[/name_f] in 2024? I’m really crushing on her and would love to hear some other peoples thoughts and opinions.

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]

Also interested to hear what middle name you would pair with [name_f]Delta[/name_f] :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Yes to [name_f]Delta[/name_f]! Any pandemic associations are behind us, I feel. The nature imagery of a verdant wetland delta has always been the most prominent thing to me.
I think the sounds in delta are a lovely mixture - the strong D, delicate ‘ta’ ending. It’s very pretty.
Some other ideas as middles for her:
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Marsaili[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Leonor[/name_f], [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Nori[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Amabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Everlea[/name_f]

Some florals-
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Wildrose[/name_f]

Though my actual favourite for me would be [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], as [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] is my favourite fem name (marry-anne rather than Mary-Anne pronunciation)

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] is lovely, ditto the PP’s sentiments about the COVID association being far less prevalent - it didn’t come to my mind until PP mentioned it.

I love the nickname options of [name_m]Del[/name_m], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and DeeDee.

From your options, I like [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] the most. Seconding [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]!

Some combo ideas:
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Francine[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Liliane[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]

i like delta genevieve from your list!

I love the name [name_f]Delta[/name_f]. It is my #1 girl name right now, and has been for over a year.

To me, I don’t associate it with the pandemic at all. The bigger association for me is [name_f]Delta[/name_f] Airlines. It still isn’t enough to deter me from this awesome name though.

I love the nature ties of [name_f]Delta[/name_f], and even more I love the association to math (delta in math/physics often means change).

If we have another girl and I get the chance to use [name_f]Delta[/name_f], I would pair it with a family name that is too rare for me to share online. But, I think there are lots of great options. I particularly like another poster’s suggestion of [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Cosette[/name_f].

We would probably use the name [name_m]Del[/name_m] a lot :slight_smile:

I know there’s the Covid association and I know there’s the airline, but I do still love [name_f]Delta[/name_f] - distinctive and interesting, with rugged nature-vibes, but also a sharp, city, stylish feel.

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] are lovely

I’d consider:

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Marlowe[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Lilias[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] is all it reminds me of, and I love that song!

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] would be my favourite variation from your list. Other middle name ideas:

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_m]Valentine[/name_m]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]

I just think of the aussie singer delta goodrem. i don’t really think about the pandemic at all, and i think that is behind us know. no bad associations, but immediately associate the whole name with her. doesn’t seem like you are in aus though so not an issue!

i like delta madeleine and delta genevieve off of your list.

some other ideas:

delta poppy
delta marie
delta may
delta june
delta imogen
delta florence
delta clementine

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_m]Amor[/name_m]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_m]Amari[/name_m]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Angeline[/name_f]

Same as the PP, I only think of [name_f]Delta[/name_f] Goodrem but once again, Aus so may not be as much of an issue, I didn’t associate it to the pandemic and didn’t think about it until I read it earlier in the thread.

I like [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] or [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] from your list, otherwise some suggestions:
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Rae[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_m]Lee[/name_m]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Aubrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] first associations are with river deltas and the Greek letter.

I think [name_f]Delta[/name_f] has a modern vibe with a vintage sound, if that makes sense!

[name_f]My[/name_f] associations with the name are [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Delta[/name_f] Goodrem, and river deltas… and, yes, I do think of [name_f]Delta[/name_f] Airlines and the COVID-19 variant too, but not in a way that I’m put off by the name. I was actually sad when I found out that the variant was called [name_f]Delta[/name_f] because I think the name is quite underrated and knew that would deter some parents. However, I agree with others that that association is mostly behind us. I don’t know about naming a daughter, for example, Cova or Corona… but [name_f]Delta[/name_f] is fine.

Of your combos, I think they all sound really nice! I would say [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is my favorite though, it just has a certain :ribbon: :star2: :croissant: sophisticated and sweet vibe to it.

It’s just an airline to me. :man_shrugging:
I prefer Della :cherry_blossom:

That said Delta Genevieve and Delta Vivienne are both lovely! (Oh, actually Delta Madeleine is really nice, too! You’ve got some great options!)

I’ve never been a fan long before the Covid thing (which I don’t think is an issue btw), it’s just a personal taste thing. Not sure why as when I’m saying it the sounds are very pretty… I just don’t love it. I do love [name_f]Della[/name_f] though and the del sound in another names eg [name_f]Odela[/name_f].

[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] are both fab combos that work. I’m not a fan of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], but objectively I don’t think the cadence of this flows as well as the others.

I don’t think there’s any need to look further re middles, I think you’ve nailed it. [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is my fave :blush:
