I just added Delfina to my personal name list. I really love that so much that I might even consider it for a potential second daughter. However, any name that ends in "fina" (a sound I must love since I have Serafina on my list too) lends itself to the nickname Fina, and as much as I love it, my daughter's name is Fiona and Fiona and Fina is much too similar. But I see Delfina, like Serafina is Italian, and my last name is Italian and I really wanted an Italian first name for my daughter, however the ones I was familiar with at the time were just too long with my last name. I considered Giada and Gianna, but ruled them out because I feared they seemed trendy. Did you grandmother have a nickname or did people just call her Delfina?
