HelpDelphine (I really need some help with this one)
WDYT of Delphine? It's been on my list as a mn for eons, but suddenley jumped onto my favourites for a fn, and I have fallen in love with it :) Nicknames would be Della and Delphi, I prefer the first but can see myself using both.
How does it work with older siblings Xanthe, August "Gus", Anneliese and Alcyone?
The thing I really need help with is middle names- I just cannot come up with anything that I am happy with, and its bugging me. Really, really bugging me. Have you got any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance :)

WOW.
I've been pondering this since, and one of the comnbos I came up with was Delphine Lucy Anastasia...and I've also come up with some involving Rose, Ariadne and Octavia...wow. I think you know my style too well :P
Delphine Octavia Grace is so lovely, but Grace feels rather predictable to me (as does Rose...but it honour's my mum, where as Grace doesnt ;) You've given me some fanastic ideas, I was just having a mental blank with this one.
I'm stil impressed by the Lucy Anastasia/ Anastasia Lucie thing..reading my mind. Thankyou for your input.

I think Delphine is lovely (though I prefer it as a mn for some reason), esp. with the nn Della. I think it sounds great with Xanthe, August, and Anneliese. But Alcyone seems to 'stick out' a little bit to me, but if Alcyone is brought back in then Anneliese almost seems boring next to the others.
Some mn suggestions:
Delphine Elise
Delphine Gisele
Delphine Adele
Delphine Camille
(it's easier to pair with other French names, obviously...lol)

For some reason, Delphine seems to sound alot better as a mn, rather than with a mn...lol. I think thats why I'm finding it so hard.
I guess Alcyone is a bit more out there...I've met Xanthe's and Anneliese's, but no Alcyones. And I guess Anneliese could be considered a bit boring next to the others..lol. It's the only girls name that makes the SSA list. I see your point, but I love the names so what can ya do. I'm not really concerned so much with the names fitting, because with my ecclectic style thats pretty much impossible, but more that they don't sound hideous and there are no unforseen problems with using them together.
Thanks for your suggestions :)

Actually I dont really remember...(m)
But I'm guesing you approve, seeing as you said you like the nn's too :)
Delphine Carys is lovely, as Carys is another favourite which I didnt even think off. Delphine Carys Eloise? hmm, not the greatest flow. This is my problem- it's hard coming up with 2 mns.
I'm also liking Delphine Nereida. Thanks Adelle :)

Ah, sorry. Pretty much any Greek myth names gets my approval, and Delphine/Delphina have been on my list for ages. Glad you like it.

Thanks for your suggestions
It's funny, because I've actually been toying with different versions of Rose (including Rosemary) as one of the mns because it honours my mum. If I'm honoset though, the only one I actually like is just plain Rose, and that feels way too predictable.
Delphine Calista is lovely too. Thanks again.
