Delphine?

[Kayzr]

I'm not pg but we are trying later this year. But to keep my broodiness in check I am looking at baby names.

I really like Daphne but it is out of the question as we have a Freddie.

But I have just come across Delphine and I love it.

What does everyone else think?

[MmeLindt]

I prefer Daphne.

Why can you not have a Daphne when you have a Freddie?

[Kayzr]

I guess you have never seen Scooby Doo. I refuse to do that to my children.

[MummyTumble]

There's a Delphine on Peppa Pig

I think its a lovely name

[Kayzr]

Oh yes!! That is where I know it from.

[MmeLindt]

Ah, sorry, I did not make the connection to Scooby Doo.

[Kayzr]

Yeah I didn't at first either, then DH pointed it out.

So unfair!!

[RnB]

We have similar taste Kayzr - I love Daphne and Delphine

I love Delphine...fond memories of GCSE french

[fairimum]

It is a lovely name but I automatically hear Delphine Donkey.... from Peppa pig

[LadyCressida]

My grandma's name was Delphine, and I think it's lovely. She was called Del, and Delo when she was little, but I think you could also be called Delphi. I've never heard of anyone else called it - it might be popular in France though.

I think it is a very sweet name - actually I'd be tempted to use it myself but my surname begins with D so don't think it works...

[Orangesarenottheonlyfruit]

I'm shocked, I am pregnant and due in May, this is our name if we have a girl! I finally thought I was being creative and unusual but not enough it seems

I do love it though.

[UnrequitedSkink]

I like Delhpine - reminds me of Delphiniums - but hate the shortening to 'Del' which she'd invariably get at school...

[Orangesarenottheonlyfruit]

Or Phin?

[Littlefish]

Delphine Donkey on Peppa Pig is my first thought.

I think the name is really pretty though.

[Ineedsomesleep]

Love it.

[mathanxiety]

I had an older generation lady in my (Irish) family whose name was Delphine -- at least two generations back. I think you can use Fifi as a nn too...

I love the name, also love Daphne (but I agree you couldn't have Daphne and Freddie).

[SqueezyB]

I like it. I wouldn't worry about the Delphine Donkey thing, my DD is an avid Peppa Pig fan and I've only ever seen one episode with Delphine Donkey in it, it's not like you're calling her Peppa!

Anyway, I'm one to talk, DD is Polly Parrot

I had Delphine on my girls name list for DC3 who is a he.

[minipie]

I like it. But people will assume she's French (not necessarily a bad thing, but could get a bit dull). Also not sure there is a good short form... I prefer it to Daphne.

[joanne34]

Delphine is a such pretty name.

[Wolfblass]

Delphine is lovely

[skidoodle]
