16 replies

Rose1000 · 31/03/2020 14:14

I decided the name Delphina but i can't decide her middle name..
Which middle name would go with Delphina?

These are names I'm considering :
Delphina Rosalyn
Delphina Reigh
Delphina Krystal

And what do you think of double barrelled name? Will it be so long if i make it a double name?

Thanks for your opinions! :)

Not a particular fan of any of your choices and PLEASE don’t hyphenate!

What about Elizabeth?

Goostacean · 31/03/2020 14:17

Delphina Rosalyn

The other two are... not nice.

emmathedilemma · 31/03/2020 14:20

Delphina Rose? It's a bit less fussy than Rosalyn.
Sorry but Reigh and Krystal are just awful, they sound like porn star names!

Delphina is lovely. It needs something vaguely grand and slightly old-fashioned to accompany it. Not girly or sparkly.

Frances?
Josephine?
Margaret?

Mintjulia · 31/03/2020 14:31

Lois?

SurpriseSparDay · 31/03/2020 15:11

Delphina Jane would be extremely cool ...

17caterpillars1mouse · 31/03/2020 15:32

Delphina is pretty, though I prefer the simplicity of Delphine which I find gorgeous

Sorry but Reigh is awful, really awful

I like Rosalyn, though prefer Rosalin spelling and Chrsytal is OK, but not with a K

I will suggest

Delphina Jasmine
Delphina Chloe
Delphina Primrose
Delphina Iris

Any you like?

As Delphina is a long name, I think a short, one-syllable middle name would work best.

Something like:
Delphina Rose
Delphina Grace
Delphina May/Mae

Don't hyphenate it.

PetraRabbit · 31/03/2020 15:57

Agree completely with SurpriseSparDay- grand but not frilly works so well. Other ideas could be Victoria or Catherine. If Margaret isn't your style then Margot is a more modern version. Or simple but not trendy- like Claire, Jane, June, Mary.

SurpriseSparDay · 31/03/2020 15:59

You don't think those particular second names might be just a touch overused, Lotus?

VenusClapTrap · 31/03/2020 16:30

Delphina definitely needs some short and simple to set it off.

Delphina Jane
Delphina Kate
Delphina Ruth

Sorry they’re all awful.
Delphina is ok but Delphine is a lot nicer. The middle names just don’t go with Delphina, they’re too chavvy (sorry!)

tryingtoconcieve1 · 31/03/2020 17:30

Absolutely definitely don’t double-barrel it.
Delphina is more than a good enough name, don’t gild the lily!!

SurpriseSparDay · 31/03/2020 18:16

Delphine is certainly beautiful, but because I know at least two actual French women with this name I'd be reluctant to use it for a child who isn't French!

Delphina is less ... fey.

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 31/03/2020 18:33

Who cares? No one ever really knows middle names apart from some family members and paperwork.

bridgetreilly · 01/04/2020 00:12

Delphina Joy
Delphina June
Delphina Ruth
Delphina Clare
Delphina Maud
