Due early July.
The final shortlist is:
Delphi Rae
Elsie Mai

My heart says Delphi but I don't know if it's just too unusual. I don't want her to hate her name. DP is equally fond of both so is letting me have the final say. Surname is a common 2 syllable name beginning with L.

Would love your opinions!

Delphi Alis
Delphi Aneira
Delphi Carys
Delphi Elin
Delphi Eluned
Delphi Gwen
Delphi Gwendolyn
Delphi Manon
Delphi Sian
Delphi Nesta

❤️ Delphi

How about
Delphi Mai
Delphi Nia
Delphi Alwen
Delphi Seren
Delphi Wyn
Delphi Bethan

I think Delphi Rae is lovely though

Delphi is nice and you can take her on an educational holiday!

""I don't know who decided it was an alternative spelling to May or why it's accepted""

Erm that would be the Japanese, slightly racist not to accept it, seeming as a lot of our language is either French/German or Latin in origin.

Delphi, is Greek, so should we accept that?

Eurgh the Mai spelling gives me the rage
It looks like it should be pronounced my not may, like Kai
I don't know who decided it was an alternative spelling to May or why it's accepted
Really annoys me - obviously

It IS pronounced 'my'. It's a legitimate Welsh name.

I like the Mai spelling. It sounds lovely and is also the German word for May...

Angelica I was clearly talking about a different name Hmm

Yes Birds I'm totally racist and hate all Japanese people because I dislike the spelling of a name - Biscuit
