Delaney- form of Dubhshláine an Old Irish name derived from dubh "dark, black" and slán "defiance" or "descendant of the challenger" depending on the source.

Dagmar- derived from the Old Norse elements dagr "day" and mær "maid"

The first that comes to mind is the pretty Delphi - there was a British actress called Delphi Lawrence.
Della strikes me as fairly uncommon - as a Perry Mason/Barbara Hale fan I like it a lot. It's light and airy and has the Adelheid ancestry (presumably, anyway, for I hate names that are just sounds without meaning).
Daliah is an unusual spelling of Dalia - as in the Israeli actress Daliah Lavi and a girl I know of.
Daria has an unfortunate tendency to conjure up a certain health problem, but I do like it.
Dorinda is an 18th century elaboration of Dora - bit too fancy for me.
Oh - here's one I almost forgot - Doriel - and also Dorona

Danaya
Darah (Darrah)
Diamond
Dolour
Diandra
