Help[Opinions] Re: Delphine and Delphina
in reply to a message by Starstrider
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.
