How to announce a nickname

Girl Names

We’d like to name our daughter [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], but she will go by [name_f]Delphie[/name_f].

When announcing, would you say [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] ‘Delphie’ last name.
[name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Delphie[/name_f] ‘Delphine’ last name?

A nickname is typically the one in apostrophe— think of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
So Delphine “Delphie” [Lastname]

For a birth announcement I would say [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] “Delphie” last name.

You could also say [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] (Delphie) last name, or [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] last name (but we’ll call her Delphie)

If announcing on social media perhaps you could write it out something like

:sparkles: [name_f]Delphie[/name_f] Is Here​:sparkles: [name_u]Or[/name_u] :sparkles:[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] to the World Delphie​:sparkles:
And the go on to say -
‘We would like to announce the arrival [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] Middle Name Last Name.’

I’d say Delphine “Delphie” Surname, then end the announcement with a sentence that addresses baby by her nickname. Like ‘Welcome, our Delphie, to the world!’ or something like that!
