    When I first read Dauphine I thought of Daphne.

    My guess would be Daw-fin

    It is a title.  It is like naming your dd Duchess or Baroness.

    It is French for dolphin.  And also a French noble title.

    I would never name my daughter that, but I guess some people name their kids "Princess", so why not Princess?

    It's definitely NMS, but we do have a Rex, which is latin for King, so essentially it's a title, so I am not judging on that alone.

    As a NN you could use Dawn I suppose. It doesn't lend itself to any specifically that I can see.

    It's pronounced doe-feen.  NMS but I don't dislike it.  Fee (like short for Fiona) could be a nickname.

    I picked Daw-feen. It just reminds me of Dauphine St. in New Orleans. Which is a great street to visit BTW, lol, but not a good name for a kid!

    I picked "Daw-feen" and I really don't like it...it reminds me of the name of a medication.  What about Delphine?  It's an older name of french and Greek  origin and I think it sounds prettier.

    This.  Personally I don't like it.  It's just begging for her to have to correct the way her name is pronounced for the rest of her life (unless you move to a French speaking country/area).  And as someone who has had to do that for her last name (both maiden and married) it gets old fast.

    I think that Dauphin is actually a rank of nobility in England, at least it was in my historical novels.
