Can someone tell me if Delia is a proper name or a nickname or abbreviated version of a longer name. Also is Pake a common nickname for Patrick or would that be a family nickname. Thanks. Kathy Pennsylvania USA

We have Delia's in the family and it is (was) their proper name. The nicknames I've heard used for one Delia in my family was Aunt Dill.
