  6. Delton

    • Description:

      Delton is a masculine name with English origins, possibly derived from place names combining 'dell' (small valley) and 'ton' (town or settlement). It may also function as a variant of Dalton or represent a combination of Del (a diminutive of names like Delbert) with the common suffix -ton. While never achieving mainstream popularity, Delton has maintained a steady, if minimal, presence in naming records throughout the 20th century, particularly in the United States. The name carries a strong, distinctive sound while maintaining approachability. Delton projects reliability and steadiness, with its solid consonants giving it a masculine feel while avoiding harshness. The name offers the friendly nickname Del while standing comfortably as a full name.

      You don't need to choose the longer form of this unusual name to arrive at Cabe, brother of Gabe and Abe.

But be warned: It will forever be mistaken, at least at first hearing, for the more familiar Gabe.
