My husband and I want to name our baby after his mother who passed away ten years ago. His mother's name was Mary Delia. We have tossed around the idea of combining her first and middle names and have come up with a few options.

1. Maridel  2. Maradel  3. Maradelia

Thoughts???

I don't know how you'd feel about using Mary on its own or not but I love it! Same with Delia. You could use Cordelia too.

 

I was trying to think of existing name that might work but all I could come up with is Mariel, Marielle, Mariella- they might be too far of a stretch

 

From you names I like Maradel best. I think Mardelia would be cute too (instead of Maradelia-which I kinda stumble over saying a bit)

I like Maridel. That's interesting and quite nice actually.

 

You could also use variations:

 

Maria

Marie

Marian

Mariana

 

Cordelia

Cornelia

I like the suggestion of Mardelia. Otherwise, I'd recommend working Mary and Delia into a fn/mn combo. All the M- names I list are forms of Mary. The others just sound similar to Delia.
