Olivia Delfina Rose. Delfina is quite unusual so i assume it has familial ties? Its lovely anyway!

Delfina I just love, but not a name that has been in the family... Rose is actually the name of my great-aunt! :)

Olivia rose

Delphine is nicer than delfina

I love it, my DDs middle name is my grandmother's name, her first name is quite old fashioned but we just loved it too. Go with what you love, there are so many of the same name now, it's lovely to hear something more unusual Smile

Delfina Olivia rose
She won't be one of 6 Delfina in her class.
Olivia rose is pretty. But that's why it's popular.

Delfina Olivia

Delfina is pretty and more unusual and interesting than Olivia

DramaAlpaca · 05/07/2016 21:08

Olivia Rose or Olivia Delfina Rose.

I'd spell it Delphina, though. Delphine is lovely too.

Yes, I agree that Delfina is super unique. We have picked the name Olivia years ago without knowing it is a popular name. Now it bothers me its popularity--though still love the name! Hence Delfina as an option. My husband proposed it though now he is a bit scared it sounds pretentious. Do you think it sounds pretentious?

Delphine is beautiful. The others not so much...

They're just so popular. There are 3 Olivias in dd's class. 2 have rose as a mn, all have surnames beginning with the same letter.

So I'd go..
Delphine Olivia.

Delfina to me sounds refreshing rather than pretentious. I am not sure how well it works with Olivia, I would probably pair it with Rose.

Rose as a middle name is so popular but I rarely hear it used as a first name.

GameOfGroans · 06/07/2016 09:52

I like Delfina but much prefer the spelling Delphina, think it's far prettier. I'd go for Delphina Rose.

We do not know any children! So we didn't realised that Olivia Rose was a popular name!

We chose the Spanish spelling of Delfina as we have family connections with the Spanish speaking world.

I suspect this will be a hard decision to make...

I don't think Olivia and Delphina work together, they are too similar sounding.
