Delphine
Thoughts on Delphine? How useable would you say it is? Do you prefer Delphina/Delphia/etc.?
(If you watch Orphan Black (where Delphine is a character), are you an emotional wreck? Because I am.)

I think Delphine is a really interesting name (in a good name) I think it's easy to pronounce, sounds beautiful and it's not common.Prefer Delphine over Delphina and Delphia as it's easier to pronounce and flows better to me

I think that it is usable, but I don't particularly care for it. It makes me think of dolphins.

I really want to like Delphine since I once knew an older woman named Delfina. She was a lovely person and I just find Delfina more attractive than Delphine (makes me think of fiend, lol). I wouldn't be appalled if I met someone named Delphine. Not at all. I just think Delfina / Delphina is prettier.

I think its completely usable. I only like Delphine, not the other options. It's very French chic, but I don't think you have to be French to use it

I love Delphine. I think it's very elegant and pretty. And my heart is broken over Orphan Black. I'm really hoping EBro's schedule clears up and they will be able to write her back in. So not a fan of Shay.

I love Delphine! I think it's definitely useable. In fact, I recently started working with a Delphine and it makes me love the name even more to see it being used.

Delphine is a very formal, posh name to me. I like it better than Delphina and Delphia. I did use Delphinium as a character's name in my HP fanfic. She's in a group that's her school's 'equivalent' to Slytherin, since the dorms are Boys' Tower and Girls' tower.I'm not familiar with Orphan Black.

I love Delphine! I've had it as a middle name for years (all my girl names have ocean related middle names) but I think it's definitely usable as a first name. I prefer Delphina as a first name over Delphine.

It's very pretty. I think Delphia is my favourite.
