Re: delaina
First of all, Delaney isn't female. It's unisex at the very least, being a surname. Secondly, it doesn't mean "descendant of the challenger":DELANEY m,f
Usage: English
Pronounced: de-LAYN-ee
From the Norman surname De l'aunaie meaning "from the alder grove" in French.But I agree that Delaina could be an alternate, "feminised" version of Delaney. Or it could be an elaboration of Elaina (see Elaine).Miranda
