原Why in life, do people try to change a male name into a female name? DELANEY is a very old Irish or Celtic surname, many years ago I met old Irish man, I said to him have you met many men with the name Delaney? He said "I've met lots and lots, it is a very old male name in Ireland" I said "Have you ever met any females with the name DELANEY?" his answer was swift and brutal "Are you stupid, calling your daughter Delaney, it's like calling your daughter DAVID in New Zealand, YOU JUST WOULDN'T DO IT!"
原I was so glad to find this. My name, but I spell it DELANIE. I looked on this site a while back and was upset to not find the name. I am always surprised when I hear the name in songs, because it is such a unique name. I've only met one other person with the same name. I also have a friend named Delania (Del-ain-a). And on nicknames, I personally hate the nickname "Laney" (or Lanie). I was called "Dee" growing up by my little sister who couldn't say my full name. Now only my family, and some of my best friends call me "Dee". "Delain" is also a nickname I've been called (pronounced DEL-ain, and used only by my grandma).
原The second I heard Jimmy Buffett's song "Delaney Talks To Statues" I knew that would be my daughter's name. It was pretty, not popular and reflected our Irish heritage. We have always gotten compliments on her name. We never liked Laney as a nickname so we have never shortened it to that.
原For some reason I love Delaney as a middle name. Whenever I'm making a female character, this is always the first middle name I think of. As a first name, it's decent, not great.
It sounds very feminine to me, but I suppose that's because I've never met a boy Delaney.
原Daughter's name is Delani, did just the "I" for completely selfish reasons on my part growing up with the boy spelling of Kelly and all the other girls had Kelli, I had to give my girl the "I". Love Irish names and her name had to start with a "D". I fell in love with Delaney when I first heard it, never even thought it was also a boy's name. We have only run across a couple others with the same name, but all girls.
原My Daughter's name is Delainie. I love it! I wanted to make it a little more feminine so I changed the spelling. I knew we wanted to call her Lainie for short and there is an actress named Lainie Kazan so that is where I got the spelling for it. I will never get sick of it.
原I love the name Delaney. It's pretty and sweet sounding just like the little girl I know who is called Delainey (different spelling). She is called Lainey as a nickname.
原Whoa! I stumbled upon this page randomly and its been really entertaining to read. My name is Delaney. Growing up, I wished I had a name like everyone else, but now in my 20s I couldn't love the name any more than I do. I think it's really nice having a rare name. I am female and feel a bit odd about it being used as a male name (tad biased, sure). Interestingly, I don't find the name overwhelmingly feminine as many here do, but it's really pretty fascinating to hear how other people interpret the name.
A note on nicknames -- No. No nicknames. Especially not Laney... or Dee. Some of my family members and very close friends call me dee, but it's more like "D" if that makes sense. It's an awesome name and it should stay as is.
原I wish this was pronounced like Melanie. I thought it was until someone corrected me online. My Great Grandmother is Della so I thought it would be a cute name Del-uh-nee. Someone create it! Like Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Delano (Del-uh-no)not Del-lane-o!
原I personally find nothing wrong with Delaney as a female name. It's bubbly and youthful and exhibits my personality well. It's a beautiful name with strong inherent meaning for male or female but it's particularly feminine in my opinion.
原Delaney is (besides a surname) a male's name in my book. I see NOTHING remotely cute, flattering or feminine for it on a girl whatsoever. I boo the use of Delaney on a girl and cheer it on for a boy.
Delaney on a boy please! I knew one. There needs to be more if the name's going to be used. Give your daughter something that doesn't sound masculine and boyish for a change.
原My daughter is called Delhaney, loved the name but wanted it to differ from the surname spelling of Delaney. She hates her name but as I did with my unusual name grew to appreciate the rarity of it. My Dad is Irish, so I've always looked into Irish names for my children even though we have typically Irish surnames anyway!
原I think Delaney is an adorable name. One of my best friends is named Delaney and she is a GIRL. She is so sweet and she has such a cute and nice personality (we're 12 years old) I call her Lanie or Lane for short, but I just like "Lanie" a bit better then Lane because Lane just sounds a little... plain. But overall, this name is such a cute name!
原I don't really care for Delaney but my cousin's name is Delana (də-LAYN-uh) which to me sounds much more feminine and I always think of a pretty blonde haired Eastern European girl when I hear my cousin's name, despite the fact she looks nothing like that.
原I adore the name Delaney for a girl. It's not something you hear every day, even though it's gaining popularity. It's sweet but not sickening sweet like Annabelle or anything. I think it would suit a girly girl, tomboy, sporty girl, all personalities! Delaney is a favorite of mine, for sure. (:
原I love this name and I'm quite proud that other people think my name is beautiful. I grew up thinking my name was weird, and I wished I had a more common name like Alyssa. It does feel very little kiddish to me, but maybe it's because I've had it since I was a little girl. I disliked the comment about a drunken Irish person. I've never even had a drink thank you very much. I definitely think a guy could have this name, although I've never heard it.
原I love Delaney. I think it's very unique and feminine. Although it isn't very traditional, more modern I still think it's very pretty. I also like the nickname "Dee".
原This name is really beautiful for girls, but I do have a male friend with this as his middle name and it sounds good with his first name. I also like it for males (probably as a middle name, though), but overall, it is a pretty name.

这个名字，由于它是一个姓氏，应该被列为男性和女性。
原This name, due to the fact that it's a last name, should be listed as masculine and feminine.
原I love Delaney! I also love Delani and Dubhshlaine as well (DOO-lah-nya.) This name is perfectly feminine and lovely. Any bearer of this name should be proud of this name's beauty.
原Eep, Tom DeLay comes to mind. I don't like this name as a first name anyway. To me, it sounds feminine, quite frankly. Lane sounds okay on both sexes, but Laney sounds like a girly nickname for it, which is why Delaney also sounds feminine to me. Somehow the name annoys me. Can't quite put my finger on it, except for the DeLay and 'delay' thing about it.
原I think this is one of the prettiest names I've ever heard of. It's not like Emily or Isabella where you get sick of hearing it every single time you go anywhere.
