Dahlia

---

Actually, Delia is the only one I dislike. lol It's just too old-fashioned for me. But since I love flower names, I'll go with Dahlia.

Delia. Dahlia makes me think of a horrendous murder and I just don't like Thalia.

I don't like Thalia when it rhymes with Dahlia! And I imagine it mostly does. And I'm not sufficiently fond of dahlia flowers to use their name on a human. Which leaves Delia. I like it; not enough to use, but it's pleasant enough. I also have some liking for Deliana, for its surprise element.

Dahlia.

Delia sounds sickeningly sweet. Thalia just is nms. I also like the nickname “Dolly” for a small child.

Dahlia

Thalia I find a bit lispy. Delia is nice enough, just prefer Dahlia.

Delia

The pronunciation is ambiguous to me with all of them, so that's not a factor...

---

I like the sound of Delia a bit more, but I have more connection to Dahlia (and prefer Dalia). Not sure which I would pick IRL.

---

I'll pick Delia right now based on sound and the Artemis connection.

Dahlia would always be my #1 choice from these three. It’s a flower, it has some lovely vowel sounds, and it’s one of my favorite names :)

---

Delia I dislike because of the long ‘e’ and I just dislike names starting with ‘Th’ because half my family wouldn’t be able to say them.

Hi !!!

---

Ohh I can't answer! I like them all!

---

Let me see..

---

Dahlia is the original form but I prefer the form Dalia (Italian).

---

Thalia is the Muse but also in this case I prefer Talia.

---

Delia is the epitet of Artemis and the Greek island of Delia full of history...

---

Just for a issue of forms I prefer Delia.

Thalia

---

Dahlia is tragic, and Delia seems flighty and incomplete.

The imagery is beautiful, the nn Dolly is sweet for a little one, and the other two just don’t do anything for me.
