What do you think of Delphine?

What do you think of Delphine as a girl's name?

Not keen but it is not popular either so could be a different choice!

I love it :) it was on a shortlist for DC2 but we've got our names sorted now.

I love it, always have.

Lovely name.

Its gorgeous! Its my DD's name, and we love it. She is called Delphy most of the time. Go for it. Delph / Delphy is cute for a little girl, and I think Delphine is elegnat for an older girl / woman.

love it

Make that elegant, not elegnat!

Love this name. And Celeste.

Lovely - love Delphie/Delphy as a nn.

It just makes me think of Delphine Donkey from Pepper Pig.

I do like the name in itself, though.

Yes makes me think of a French donkey.

I really like it, was on list for dd.

I love love love it. It was on my short list for dd (along with Aurelia and Flora) - all 3 were vetoed by dh . It was 11 years ago, and I'm over it now (lie)

I really like, never really thought of it before but definitely has a nice ring to it.

Echoing the Peppa Pig sentiment a little bit and if I'm honest I do like it but I think un peu pretentieuse if you are not French, though!

Love Delphine, on my list too! Delphie is a sweet nn. Another one rejected by DP (sigh)

I loved it before I saw Peppa Pig. I still love it but the first thing that comes to mind is Delphine Donkey.

But I have seen too much Peppa Pig so ignore me.

Ahhh sorry another one who thinks of Peppa Pig, but Peppa Pig won't be around forever.

Again, delphine donkey. But my son is called Milo. How many times do I get asked if I named him after a tweenie? In afew years time who will know peppa pig as our children will have grown out of it.

I like it. Makes me think of delphinium.

I think it's the French for Delphinium, I have a soft spot for flower names for girls and this one is a little out of the ordinary

Adore it, it's DD's middle name

She might get called Dolphin

Just had a conversation with my 5 yr old Delphy - no one, young or old, has ever mentioned Delphine Donkey to her! And neither does she get called Dolphin! Think your pretty safe there...
