Yep.
Perfectly acceptable with a sister Shaniqua.
Oh no.
I was thinking more Jerry Springer than Rikki Lake, with some seriously harsh finger-snapping going on...
Really NMS.
I really dislike it.
Too ghetto american for me.

Sounds "made up" to me.Not really a fan
Not a fan at all.
Makes me think someone's a fan of Kelis and Ke$ha and couldn't decide which one they wanted to 'honour' with their baby's name.
I think it's horrendous.

We are sharing on brain on this one.
OP, how about Alisha or Alicia, which are both established names?
I'm going against the grain.
I like it, its a friends 2 year old little girls name and is very cute on her.

I think a person would struggle to be taken seriously with a name like that in this country.
I quite like Delish-a.

Hmmm not so much

is that pronounced "de-lee-sha" or "de-lee-dash-a" ?? I'm confused
What about Alicia/Elisha?
Sounds like one of those names that Whoopi Goldberg makes fun of.

Why not add a Y and some superfluous letters? Also a dash. That would make it even cuter.

It's "Delish - dash - a"
Makes my eyes hurt just looking at it.
No. Bler.
Awful.
It seems I can pretty much cut and paste my opinion on most baby names today.
