Re: Delphine & Despina
in reply to a message by Bex
They are both fun names. I agree they sound nice with your current girls. My association with Despina is that very strong association with Cosi Fan Tutte... almost as strong as Cherubino. But not quite. I like her sassy character pretty well, and I love her aria.I might chat with your music teacher if you're seriously considering using it! So she hears it from you first, and can share your amusement about it and feel sort-of honored. I have a friend who really, really likes my middle name, which is a super random, rather obscure family surname. In high school she used to use it in her top combos for babies. I felt a bit affronted by it. I wouldn't feel affronted today, but I would think it was weird and totally random.D is sort of an underplumbed letter. Davina is another one in that group, maybe? Diantha?

One of my friends from middle/high school's MN was Faust, which I'd never imagined as usable, but now I'd totally use Faustina or Faustino.
...not meant to be in connection to her, but she did make the name seem familiar to me. I wonder if I did use it and she found out, if she'd be weirded out.

I totally forgot that Despina was in Cosi Fan Tutte! I love Cosi!! That might have made it nicer in my mind now.My husband would detest Davina, his name is David lol. Diantha I detest because it's too close to Diane who is my mother in law (HAHA)
