I like it. Agree it should be Delphi

ExitPursuedByAKitten · 05/07/2011 17:09

Definitely without the e. My DD was at primary with Delphi. Her mum was a bit arty farty, but I always thought it was a lovely name.

Delphi is lovely!

i love it, but yes, def without the e

i know a little Delfina which is also lovely

We considered Delphi (no e!) as a name, with Delphine on the bc.
I think it is a lovely, unusual without being wierd, name.
(We only rejected it as Delphi is a programming language, and DH is a computer programmer, so it might have caused a few comments amongst his circles. Apparently.)

YY to losing the 'E.'

Tuppenyrice · 04/07/2011 22:24

Delphi, always Delphi.

SloganLogan · 04/07/2011 22:22

It's nice :)

Hassled · 04/07/2011 22:21

The e on the end makes it crap. Delphi, which is a gorgeous, other-worldly sort of place, would make a good name. But please don't piss around with the spelling.

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 04/07/2011 22:19

Not sure about the e on the end - I prefer Delphi or Delphine

boocha · 04/07/2011 22:18

Love it

CandiceMariePratt · 04/07/2011 22:10

I like Delphine better

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 04/07/2011 22:07

I know a little Delphi - I think it's lovely.

sundew · 04/07/2011 22:05

I love it!
