[Opinions] Delara/Dilara
What do you think of this name? It means “adorning the heart”. Which spelling do you prefer?

There’s a character in Game of Sultans called Dilara.
Delara was in my top 10 this month. It reminds me of Delora (but with a lighter meaning). I would only use the Dilara spelling if I for sure wanted to avoid a pronunciation closer to Della than to dill.
I really dislike dilated Dilara, so I suppose that means I prefer Delara. That's putting it a bit too strongly: it resembles an elaboration of Lara, which is pretty bland and tedious. And I'm not at all sure how one adorns a heart!
Dilara seems to me like it would be the name of a prescription laxative.
I don't really like the name but the Delara spelling is better
