HelpRe: Delphina vs Lyrianna
in reply to a message by BlueEyes
Both names make me think of mythology and art, fantasy, creativity, history, whimsy, etc. They're both elegant and... well, I don't know how to put this but I think you'd have to be attractive and generally well-dressed to pull off either of these names. They both have a "princess" vibe. But they also have some more "regular person" sounding nicknames if you end up in a phase of life where you want to use something more understated. Delphi or Lyra for 'shorter but still stands out' and Della or Anna/Ana for 'I want to blend in today / I want to sound like an average joe'.
Lyrianna is pretty good but I'd prefer Lyriana. Also, it's harder for people to spell. This one makes me think of music (associations with "lyric" and "lyre") and also dancing.
Delphina is nice, and it might age better. It feels a little deeper and more solid and has clear mythological associations. Most people will know how to spell it, even if you have to say "like dolphin with an e instead of an o, then put an a on the end."
My choices would be:
1. Lyriana (I know I added an option, but I think this is the prettiest)
2. Delphina (More familiar, ages well, deeper historical tones)
3. Lyrianna (but I don't really like it with two n's)
