Delphine and Delphina, do you like or dislike either? If you had to choose one to use which would it be? Last question is which works better as a younger sister with Artemis as the older sister? Thanks. :)

I dislike both of them, but I'd go with Delphine. I think it works better with Artemis too.

I love Delphine. Delphina is okay. Delphine is my pick.
As for Artemis, Delphine and Artemis don't flow well for siblings, for me.

Delphine works better with Artemis. They have matching levels of delicate strength. Delphina is too fussy next to Artemis.

I prefer Delphine but I don't mind Delphina.

I wouldn't use either, but at gunpoint I'd choose Delphine. I was at school with a Delphine - never knew her, we were in different years - so I'm somewhat used to it, and it's shorter, with a less clunky rhythm. So, Artemis and Delphine. Why not?

Delphine is pretty. Both Delphine and Delphina make beautiful names, especially as a middle. Unfortunately, Delphine reminds me of Belle Delphine.

I like Delphina, but I dislike Delphine. Delphine sounds too much like "dolphin." Artemis jusr doesn't sound right as an elder sister for Delphina.

I don't really care for Artemis, but Delphine and Delphina are both lovely! I usually gravitate towards the -a version, so rn I prefer Delphina.

I like them. I'll choose Delphine, but I prefer Delphia of the variants

Not sure which works better - they both are equally good for a sibling name :)

I like Delphine, but not Artemis, from your list I'd choose Vivienne or Hazel

Artemis is the one thing that can't be changed because it is my daughter's name. I know that it isn't everyone's cup of tea but we love it.

I like both, but I’d go with Delphina with the nickname Delphi.

They're a little too close to dolphin for my liking, Delphine in particular. If I had to pick one it would be Delphina. I prefer Delphia though.

I think Delphine works better with Artemis. Quite themey as a set.

Delphine and dolphin are definitely similar which makes sense since they share a root word, I can see why that association is off-putting to some people. I don't personally mind their similarity and that is actually what we are going for because Dolphin is a family surname for my husband and we thought Delphine or Delphina would be a potentially great way for my husband to honor that side of his family. Nothing is set in stone yet, we aren't pregnant again and aren't currently trying, but someday Delphine or Delphina could be used by us as a first or a middle name for another daughter. I really love both names but I go back and forth on which I prefer.

That's a nice idea for honouring then. I think it suits a middle name better.
