Hi all, what are your thoughts on the name Delta? Is it too soon to name a daughter Delta Dawn?What other middle names do you suggest for Delta? Names for Delta's sister who's middle name is Dawn?

I love Delta! Not really a fan of Delta Dawn though.
I never thought of Delta Dawn as the character's full name; I assumed that Delta was a place, like New York Susie or Birmingham Bev. So to me it's firstly a letter of the Greek alphabet and secondly, because of that, the triangular mouth of a large river.
I kind of like Delta but it makes me think of a river delta.

I immediately started singing the song when I saw the name! But I am officially Old now, so maybe my associations don't matter.Delta is a pretty cheesy name (to the likes of me, anyway) so there's no sense pretending it's just like any old name. Might as well lean into it, really go full bore.So, something like...Delta June & Jolene Dawn
Delta Jeanne & Harper Dawn
Delta Belle & Loretta Dawn
Delta Blanche & Amanda Dawn
Delta Rose & Tanya Dawn
Delta Scarlett & Eudora Dawn
Delta June & Loretta Dawn is very nice!

Delta Dawn is not my cup of tea but it's your daughter and your decision to name her that.
I do like both of the names separately but I don't think they matchI don't know what your taste in name and what you like
but here are some ones that match my taste:Delta Adeline
Delta Emmeline
Delta Dorothea
Delta Amelieedit: Took a look at your PNL and made some combosDelta Aurdey (personally not a big fan of Audrey but I do think they have a matching style, so I think it's the best suggestion I can offer)
Delta Bellamy
Delta Adelaide
Delta Miriam
Delta Madelyn (I also feel the same about this combo)
Delta Clementine
Delta Anstasia

Delta Marie and Jessica Dawn
Delta Abigail and Miley Dawn
Delta Angelle and Kinsey Dawn
Delta Maurine and Sophia Dawn
Delta Eleanor and Cassidy Dawn
Delta Michelle and Isabelle Dawn
Delta Miranda and Jasmine Dawn
Delta Anastasia and Tatiana Dawn
Delta Jolene and Rosie Dawn
Delta Cassandra and Abigail Dawn
Delta Louise and Stacy Dawn
Delta Esmeralda and Ophelia Dawn
Delta Renee and Zoey Dawn
Delta Jane and Cassandra Dawn
Delta Maria and Annabel Dawn
Delta Rianne and Cassia Dawn
etc.
