About the name
Delphine is French — from Delphi, the navel of the ancient world, and delphis, the dolphin Apollo took as his sacred form — oracle and sea-creature in one name.
A steady French classic, rare in America, Delphine offers the -ine elegance (Clementine, Josephine) with marine mythology underneath.
Two possible musics: del-FEEN (French) or DEL-fine. Del and Fifi both live inside. It pairs well with simple middles (Delphine Mae, Delphine Ruth). On our vibe map it is Vintage Elegant with Mythological salt water and a Celestial oracle's smoke.
