To me, this name seems too long and pretentious to be used by a little girl. And people might shorten it to 'Candy', which I find atrocious. Bleh. I like the 'Del' part of the name, but the rest I dislike.

Candelaria also is a name derived from the Native American 'Spanish' Indians. Apache tribe, Comanche band in the Mexico and Arizona areas. Candelaria was the name used to describe the wax that was extracted from cactus. Which was used to make candles and other wax items. Candelaria is a more a luminescent than an outright light. Like the warm glow of candle light apposed to the stark light of something fluorescent. Not just a quiet beckon which means help and support Candelaria is a wax that is pliable and able to conform to the needs of it's creator. A flexible, tolerant giving name for a matterial which serves a variety of purposes even to this day.
