Thanks everyone, it's so helpful to know what other people think.

Delphine is gorgeous and beautiful and unusual and is my favourite of your list.

Rosalie is pretty and sweet, but she will become one of the very many thousands of Rose Rosie Rozz etc etc etc as it is such a very popular name ATM.

Beatrice is lovely, but hugely popular ATM, she will be Beatrice "initial of your surname" in secondary school. Also, although I like Bee or Bea as a NN I really dislike Trixie or Trix, and who knows what she will be lumbered with.

Soooooo, please please please pick the wonderful *Delphine" for your daughter, you know you want to "Winnie" Easter Smile

love Beatrice and love love love Bea for short!
Personally not so keen on the others

CaipirinhasAllRound · 20/04/2014 22:14

Hate Delphine, sorry. I know of one and I always think of Only Fools and Horses (know that is Marlene though)

Not Delphinus! Delphine. Flipping iPad.

MountainGoatee · 20/04/2014 22:06

Delphinus is lovely, so long as you're not planning to live in a German speaking country as it sounds like the German for Dolphin. Rosalie is lovely too. I'm slightly less keen on Beatrice because of the royal connection, and because I don't like the nickname Bea.

Clarabum · 20/04/2014 22:03

Delphine!

Spottybra · 20/04/2014 21:59

Rosalie

magentasurprise · 20/04/2014 21:57

I like all of them.

Delphine is my favourite. Not keen on the potential nick names though.

Rosalie is v pretty. I think Rosa is my favourite "Rose' name.

Beatrice is v pretty, also Beatrix.

bouquetofpencils · 20/04/2014 21:20

They are all lovely, you can't go wrong with any of them.

MadameJosephine - I'm thinking of Rosalie as Rose-a-lee.

AreWeThereYeti · 20/04/2014 21:10

Delphine - I love it

RobinSparkles · 20/04/2014 21:10

I don't think everyone would think Delphine Donkey, TBH. It's probably just me!

MadameJosephine · 20/04/2014 21:10

I prefer Beatrice, not keen on Delphine and I'm never sure how to pronounce Rosalie (is it roz-a-lee or Rose-a-lee?)

Marcipex · 20/04/2014 21:09

Delphine.

Ruthless - you're right, it would be Fifi.

OP posts:
RuthlessBaggage · 20/04/2014 21:07

All divine. Slight preference for Beatrice.

I also like other Rosa- names Rosalind and Rosamund.

Fi from Delphine, surely. Fifi seems inevitable.

Oh first baby so I didn't know about Delphine Donkey! Thanks for that!

RobinSparkles · 20/04/2014 20:59

I can't decide between Rosalie or Beatrice. Both are beautiful . If it were me I'd probably go for Rosalie and call her Rosie or Rosa for short.

Delphine just makes me think of Delphine Donkey Blush.

crankypants · 20/04/2014 20:55

Love, love, love Beatrice.

Doilooklikeatourist · 20/04/2014 20:55

All lovely names , Delphine is the best choice IMHO

AwfulMaureen · 20/04/2014 20:52

Oh pick Delphine....if anyone calls her Del you can slap them. Grin

LunaOnTheBrooma · 20/04/2014 20:51

Love Delphine. Could become Della?

AllMimsyWereTheBorogroves · 20/04/2014 20:50

The one I know has a slight stress on the Del, yes.
