It's ok but I prefer Delphina or Delfina. My dh and I once knew an older Latina lady named Delfina. Her name really suited her.

I love it; it's very sophisticated. I would use a simple, classic middle (or first) name with it. I prefer Del as a nickname.

It's one of my favorites.A name I'll likely use if I have a girl, though probably as a mn. I do like the nn Delphi though.

Delphine is really pretty! I don't like Delphie at all, though. I think Del is really cute. :)-- Sarah

I think Delphine is very elegant and beautiful. I'm not big on the nn Delphie, though. I think Delphine is just fine on it's own, but if you wanted to use a nn I'd suggest Del or Delly or something of that nature.Some combos:
Delphine Maria
Delphine Layla
Delphine Theresa / Teresa
Delphine Patricia
Delphine Christina
Delphine Isabel-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I like Delphina a little better because it sounds less like an adjective, but it's still a pretty name. I would probably call her Elphie, mostly because I'm a Broadway junkie, and that makes me think of Elphaba from Wicked. Random, yes, I know.Um, combos (which I would change if Delphina is used. I don't think the two are swappable because of the sounds and rhythm.):Delphine Helena
Delphine Annette
Delphine Suzette (what? I'm feeling French for these two) :)
Delphine Sophia
Delphine Louise
Delphine Sibyl (oh, oh, a crafty sort of myth reference that also illustrates the adjectival properties of the name!)
Delphine Ophelia (I'm liking the repeated 'ph')
