I just take the name as a variant of Adela or Adelaide, like it says on here and then it means "noble". The "of the" meaning doesn't bother me though, not really.

I like it. I knew a Persian girl called Delaram who shortened her name to Della. I can't think of many combos; the only name that goes naturally for me with Della is Della's surname.

I'm not put off by the Italian interpretation.

I don't speak Italian so I think of Della as a nn for Adela more.

If you're still nervous about Della, hve you considered Delia instead? The vowel sound is different, but it feels like it can stand on its own better. Delia Genevieve is my stock combo for her.

I love Della. I think it's very unexpected, but it still sounds familiar. If it's being used in an English-speaking context, then, no, what it means in Italian doesn't bother me. It doesn't have that meaning in English. I prefer it as a nn anyway.
