Re: Delfina or Delphina
I typically prefer p / ph over f (another example being Sofia and Sophia), the use of p is more natural to me. But mostly, I prefer to way the p / ph looks; its rounder and softer due to the curves of the P and H, while F is usually boxy and harsher. The question reminds me of the scene in Psycho that teachers use for Level 1 understanding of Mise en Scene; the female hero is framed by curved objects which look delicate, like the percaline jug with a wavy top or the round photo frame above her, while the male antagonist is framed by harsh corners and things that look pointy, like the talons of the birds of prey behind him or the pointy corners of the picture frames. That's what I get from Delfina / Sofia vs Delphina / Sophia---"one particular boogie will move mirror massaging with stirring crepe mixture, positioning loaves while in the furnace then toting items in containers" ~ best Russian daing sites (guest, 198.144.149.xxx) (2020)Formally PrincessZ and Princess Magpie
