[name]Delphi[/name] [[name]DEL[/name]-fee] has been stuck in my head for a few days. I’ve not been able to round the name out myself and so I’ve come to you all! I’m a fan of two middle names, but it’s not necessary.

My Ideas:
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Georgina[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Georgina[/name] [name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Georgina[/name] [name]Tulip[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Georgina[/name] [name]Lark[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Georgina[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Georgina[/name] [name]Maude[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Viola[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] Erabel
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Lark[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Marceline[/name]

What do you think a good middle name for [name]Delphi[/name] would be?

Thanks!

[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] is my favorite by far. If you wanted to add in that second middle, I like [name]Tulip[/name] from your choices. However, I wouldn’t use a name as out there as [name]Tulip[/name] if it didn’t mean something to me. For instance [name]Jonquil[/name] is a name that’s very uncommon, but I like it because it’s my mother’s favorite flower and because there are tons of Jonquils blooming every [name]March[/name] where I was born and raised. To me that warrants the use of a name that will be deemed strange or weird by others.

I would’ve pronounced it [name]Del[/name]-fy (as in eye) it’s the name of a street near me.

[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Georgina[/name] [name]Lark[/name] is my fave.

4

That is something to keep in mind with this name. I know a few people pronounce it del-fy, but a majority that I’ve heard pronounce it del-fee. This might be a regional thing. I’ll have to poll and do a bit of research before I try to get DH onboard.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Tulips actually do have a bit of meaning for us. It was the first flower my DH ever gave to me and one that he continues to give me as time passes. I have a fondness for them.

That’s the perfect example of what I was talking about! If you told me your daughter’s name was [name]Delphi[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Tulip[/name] I would automatically want to know why you chose it. What’s the story? I know most people won’t, but even if you never tell anyone else, it can be something special for your daughter when she’s older. :slight_smile:

I’m from [name]Brooklyn[/name] NY if that helps!

I like [name]Delphi[/name]! A lot. Not sure if I prefer, [name]Delphine[/name], [name]Delphina[/name] or [name]Delphinia[/name] NN [name]Delphi[/name] though. As in I’m not sure it’s ‘complete’

I also like [name]Tulip[/name] :slight_smile: [name]Delphi[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] is my favourite combo from your list.

[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name] [name]Camellia[/name]

[name]Delphina[/name] [name]Louise[/name] would be my pick :slight_smile:

9

The Oracle at [name]Delphi[/name], etc is pronounced with a long I. That’s the original and standard pronunciation.

10

I prn it the same as you, that and Adelphi both end with a long I for me. I thought that was the correct prn? Maybe this name is either/or?

11

I did a bit of looking earlier and found del-fee to be used more often outside of the United States and [name]Canada[/name]. I’m not saying one is right or one is wrong, they’re both legitimate pronunciations.

Thanks everyone!

You might also like [name]Delphie[/name], it’s an uncommon french variation of [name]Delphi[/name]

14

[name]Delphie[/name] is lovely and looks more complete. [name]Even[/name] better though is the idea that it might help to alleviate the fee/fy issue. :slight_smile:

Thanks!
