Demelza

Ah, Demelza... the smell of rain on a chilly day... the somber, soulful notes of a flute... but I digress. Demelza brings to mind a cabin in the woods, and living there is a bold, unfettered woman with a sharp mind and a good heart. The sounds of the letters are like pine needles, and they taste like caramel... delightful!

I think that it sounds really pretty as a name!

Very alluring.

I hope I’m mispronouncing this... but it reminds me of dementia. Sure, without the tsh sound but it’s still a bit too similar in my personal opinion.

Makes me think of cheese in pizza for some reason, haha. Anyway, I like it. It reminds me of sultry brown eyes and colorful skirts and it's a strong, independent, powerhouse of a name. But it also sounds mysterious and pretty and smoky and exotic.

Such an intriguing and beautiful name!

It sounds Spanish.

I think Demelza is quite a mysterious-sounding and ancient Celtic name, first of all I didn't like the sound of it, but now it's starting to grow on me. It sort of reminds me of the name Imelda. :)

Personally, though I think this is an absolutely gorgeous name, the name becomes tainted when I think of that evil demon-gremlin that won Australia's Next Top Model.

What a weird and ugly name! The nickname would surely be Mel, and I hate Mel on females. Come to think of it, I hate it on males as well. It's annoying and makes me think of Mel Gibson. Ugh. She'd better go by Demi, which I'm not so crazy about either, but it is more bearable, alright.

I quite like the name Demelza. I know a seven year old with this name, but her parents are hippies and I'd always assumed they made the name up until I read Harry Potter.

I like this name. It's my name! I'm a Spanish girl and I don't know the meaning of my name. I'm 24 and I only knew that my name was in a TV series. I know something else now.

The series your name was used in was "Poldark". It was on the BBC. I also named my daughter (who is also 24) after this character, but I went with the name Angharad, from Angaharad Reese,the actress who played the part.
