Delphine

[DoctorZog]

Thoughts on Delphine please? Do you know any?

Delphine Donkey (Peppa Pig) is the only thing that comes to mind. This says more about me.

The only Delphine I have heard of is the donkey in Peppa Pig as above!

It's pretty. I like it.

Despite not speaking French I have a serious weakness for French names. So Delphine is a yes for me. Ditto Sandrine, Mathilde, etc.

Yes, I thought about the donkey... but there's also Suzy Sheep, Zoe Zebra etc. Would it put you off? Do you actually like the name?

Belle Delphine the prn star who sold her used bath water to pervs.

I've never met one. Not overly keen on the een sound.

I know a little girl called Delphi though, which I think is really pretty (although perhaps too much associated with the Cursed Child now).

Delphine is such a lovely name. I also love French names!!

It’s a no from me

Care to elaborate? 😊

I love it. It was on my list. I don't know any.

I can imagine a provincial boutique in 1986 that wanted to appear upmarket calling itself Delphine's.

Maybe it's because I've never met a person with the name. I much prefer Celine. Or Celeste.

Ha! I quite like Celeste, although it reminds me of Daphne and Celeste. Celine just makes me think of Celine Dion...

It makes me think of the Delphi murders.

Love it, classic French name.

It sounds very french to me, I would be surprised to meet one who didn't have a link to France! It's nice though, Delphi or Elphie are cute

Dolphin

It’s lovely if you have a connection to France

makes me think of dolphins!

I teach a 5/6 year old girl called Delphine.
Had no idea there was a child's cartoon character with the name - it's certainly never mentioned in class or by the other children. Definitely not a reason to not use it.

Lived in france for a year, but otherwise no connection. Not sure it matters though - there are lots of other popular french names around at the moment e.g. Clementine, Amelie, Elodie, Genevieve etc.

I don’t really like een ends, they sound old fashioned to me - Pauline, Rosaleen.. but it’s alright.

Sorry, it makes me think of the really drippy character from Cold Comfort Farm!

I like it but only if you have a French accent

I also think it's a bit dolphin-y

That was Elphine! Elphine Starkadder.

I was actually about to suggest Elphine as an alternative!
