I can't claim credit for it, unfortunately. I can't remember where I heard it. But now that we're on a roll, I bet a lot of names have suggestive meanings.
Lureen lured Jack.
L.D. Newsome had "new money" -- a new sum of money.
Uncle Harold subtly heralded future tragedy.

Well, there is no plain "del" in my dictionary but here's the definition as printed for "dell"
dell- n: ravine, valley: a secluded hollow or small valley usu. covered with trees or turf.

Well, that's not altogether unfitting either, hunh? Ennis is secluded and covered, for sure.
Artiste:
Thanks atz75!
And for Del, Ennis is also like a valley, if I may say like a flat land... as he is steady doing the SAME ways (as in always finding jobs being not lazy, as in wanting to marry his lady, and to keep on befriending Jack but also steadily fearing that)!! Like a flat land or a valley, Ennis is even flat voiced using the SAME tone of voice.
In many ways, Ennis is del Mar, yes a mar.. destroying, as in fighting others, fighting himself, fighting love till he loves more Jack, etc., all as he detracts for perfection, as in the perfect love between him and Jack they could have; Ennis does waste time too... as he could have lived with Jack after his divorce, yes??
In some ways more and more, Ennis is also Twist, which changes that DEL bit by bit... luckily!! Ennis becomes a rock, a mountain!! ??
Are my thoughts coherent??
Which are yours, and from all,
hugs!!
