Thoughts on....

Delphine. Or Delphina.

It's a French name I've secretly loved for a while now, but just recently started seriously considering since I've discovered how hard it is for DH and I to agree on girls' names.

I believe it's meant to be pronounced dell-FEEN or dell-FEEN-uh, but those with stronger backgrounds in French are welcome to correct me.

Thoughts? Is it too bizarre or strange? Hard to pronounce? Does it sound pretty? Or ridiculous/ugly?

TIA!

I think it's cute. I tend to read books that take place in England/Scotland and there have been a few Delphine's in them. Not hear to much in the USA but that's one more reason to like it!

Well I am not 100% sure how to pronounce it but I have to say that the couple of ways I try to say it out loud I don't like it.

I do however LOVE Daphne and Delilah.

I use to work with a woman named Delphina who went by Fina (Feen-uh) as a nn.  She was Puerto Rican.

Correct pronounciation is bolded.  Lovely name.  I went to school with a Delphine and she wore the name proudly!

DH had it on his list but I vetoed it cause it's too long for our last name.

I'm not much of a francophile but I like Delphine and think you are right that it is pronounced del FEEN.

It is nice normal, but uncommon

It's pretty...

 First thing I think of is Mike from Desperate Housewives - I think his LN was Delfino...

I have to say I don't like Delphine and Delphina, they both sound too frumpy for me.  But I like the suggestion of Daphne instead.

I like Delphine. Somehow Delphina strikes me as a little over the top, but maybe it's just me...
