I adore them both! My grandmother is Cecelia and so that makes me think of her, but Delia is so sweet too!

Celia..Delia reminds me of Delia Smith.

Both are lovely, but I slightly prefer Celia

Celia because I prefer the meaning ("heaven") over Delia's ("of Delos"). I like the softness of it as well.

I prefer Delia, though Celia's also lovely.

Celia. Apart from being Shakespearean, and linked in my mind with the delectable name Rosalind, its "heavenly" meaning appeals to me, whereas "woman from Delos" is a bit obscure really.
I absolutely resist seeing Celia as a short form of Cecilia, as some people do, because although I like Cecilia (and Cecily) and the Cici nn I shudder at the meaning!

Definitely Dalia. It just looks and sounds more pleasant to me than Celia, which seems a bit dowdy.

I strongly prefer Delia. I just prefer the sound and look and overall "feel" of it.I've never cared for Celia (although I like Cecilia and love Cecily).

I like Celia better, but I should mention that I am biased. My daughter's name is Cecelia and we usually call her Celia.
