I’m still unsure, but the name [name_f]Delta[/name_f] has grown on me. It’s said to mean ‘fourth born’ when given as a name, this is our fourth baby. Also, it’s a mathematical symbol and my husband and I met as he tutored me in math in college…teaching me scientific notation!
I do know of an Australian singer named delta goodrem, but that’s the only delta I have ever heard of. I’m not worried about the sorority connection as I’m from [name_f]England[/name_f].
I’m having a hard time visualizing this name on a person. What kind of person do you imagine? Is it professional enough? Would it look ok on uni applications and resumes etc? It was only in the top one thousand in the late 1800s and early 1900 hundreds, does it have a vintage vibe to it? I can’t tell! My other kids have Classic, vintage names so I wouldn’t want to give baby #4 something new and wildly different. I also read on a name forum that this name wouldn’t be well received in Greece. I know its essentially the letter ‘D’ but can anyone shed anymore light on why it would be so awful?
Also, I feel middle names that fit would be a nightmare!
Last name is a large, black bird- begins with R.
I am not a fan of [name_f]Delta[/name_f]. I think of a chemical equation.
I love the name [name_f]Delta[/name_f], I think it works for a little girl. All the people I’ve known with the name have been Southern [name_f]Belle[/name_f] types but I think names change so it might be fit for any type nowadays.
I love it! I find it strong and unique, without being odd. And it is has personal meaning for you, which is always a plus. I think works with your last name, too. I have never heard of anyone called by this name. (I am American.)
For a middle, I’d go more classic and soft and stay away from word names:
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] R_
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] R_
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] R_
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] R_
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] R_
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] R_
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] R_
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] R_
It makes me think of the 1920s and a smart talking, witty, fun woman. I don’t know anyone called [name_f]Delta[/name_f] and it doesn’t have a high profile in the UK. I like it 
I like it and the first combo that came to mind is [name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u].
Thanks for all your responses!
@caralion the whole 1920s vibe makes me love it much more! I do get a vintage feel from it, but it’s so rare (and was rare even at its peak) that it also feels kind of fresh.
@18_25 I was getting a slight southern feel from it and I don’t know why…it seems like historically, it only really took off in the south, but even then it wasn’t common. It makes me want to sing ‘walking in [name_u]Memphis[/name_u]’ haha.
@mulme944 thanks for the suggestions! [name_f]Irene[/name_f] is a family name and definitely a possibility
@whitegardenia [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] as a middle is SO pretty. I like it a lot! She may be born on [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]'s day though lol, I know ppl find that cheesy but I’m actually ok with it!
I think it’s really pretty and would sit well alongside classic sibling names. It feels like a quirky, smart vintage choice - a little different perhaps but not at all trendy or too out there.
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Kristen[/name_f] [name_u]Bell[/name_u] (voice of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] from Frozen) named her second baby girl [name_f]Delta[/name_f] (after [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]), so it’s definitely fresh and usable! I like it - it’s different and has a special meaning to you, which is nice.
