What do you think of the name [name_f]Della[/name_f] as a stand alone name? [name_u]Or[/name_u] would she do better with a more formal name like [name_f]Adela[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], or [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]?
What are some good middles for [name_f]Della[/name_f]?
Thanks! 
I think it works! It’s just as complete of a name as [name_f]Stella[/name_f] or [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal preference however is to use it as a nickname for [name_f]Adele[/name_f] or [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f].

[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
I think it totally works! It’s always seemed like a full name to me – I had a [name_f]Della[/name_f] on one of my sports teams as a child, and I don’t think it was short for anything.
Maybe…

I love [name_f]Della[/name_f]! I prefer it as a nn—I am a big fan of it as a nn for [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], or even [name_f]Adelia[/name_f]?
If I was purposely going for [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is my favorite way to get to it, but [name_f]Adele[/name_f] is my favorite of the “long” forms as a name period? [name_f]Della[/name_f] is one of my favorite nns for sure but I also just love straight up [name_f]Adele[/name_f]—and prefer [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f].
As for whether it needs a full name, probably not, it’s personal taste? [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Della[/name_f] is my favorite option for [name_f]Della[/name_f], but I find it hard to find a combo with just [name_f]Della[/name_f] I love. [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] is probably my favorite but I like [name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] more. Maybe:

I love [name_f]Della[/name_f] on its own! I follow someone on Instagram with a daughter named [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]. So gorgeous. It’s lovely as a nickname for [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Adele[/name_f] too, though.

Della automatically makes me think of [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] so it definitely works to me!
I think [name_f]Della[/name_f] totally works as a stand alone. It doesn’t have a nickname-y sound, like [name_f]Adele[/name_f] which you described as more formal

I like [name_f]Della[/name_f] and think it can definitely stand on its own. After all, [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f] can! I know of a Dela and it works just fine.
Or [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Jolene[/name_f]!
im in love with adelaide nn della; i just think it’s amazing, but della can definitely stand on its own!
Thank you everyone! Really crushing on [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] “[name_f]Della[/name_f]” right now 
any good middles for [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] that would also sounds good if she went by her nn with middle?
Really like [name_f]Della[/name_f] paired with [name_f]Jolene[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f].
Della could stand on her own, it definitely feels more complete than something like [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’ [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’ [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’ [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’ [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] are pretty.
