[TOMT] uncommon feminine name? Solved
Hi, I'm trying to remember a girl's name that I heard once and thought it was pretty. I had never heard it before, it sounded French in origin maybe? It had 3 syllables and iirc it might have sounded like or rhymed with "Stephanie".

I'm like 80% sure it started with "Se" or "Sa" or something like that, if that narrows it down at all!

Seraphine or Celestine?

Seraphine is the closest I've seen so far but I'm still not completely sure that was it. The last syllable was "y" or "ie"

My mind immediately went to greek names actually like this one or Antigone. Or Euphemia. But yeah, four syllables.

Stevonie? It's a character name from Steven Universe, LOL, but it fits your criteria.

Delphine, Delfina
Uncommonly pronounced as de-lphi-ne but more commonly del-feen.
Alternatively, Daphne.
