I don't get a trashy vibe from
Delilah at all. I think of the biblical account, first and foremost. And to be honest, if it were a tad more common, I'd have considered it myself since I wouldn't want my dd to be the only one of her peers with her name. I know what that feels like and it's almost as bad as being one of many. Anyway, I've only known one
Delilah (in middle school). Beautiful, girl, beautiful name. It's a shame you and your dh were negatively influenced by a friend who was totally off the mark, imo. I know how difficult it can be to agree with one's spouse on a name, period. JMO but I think
Delilah Kelley is a kick-ass name.
