I love Delilah. So much so that I named my Himalayan that 12 years ago, only to regret taking it out of the running for future children.

I like it. I don't love it, but it's pretty without being super frilly. I can't believe how much I prefer it to Lila/Lilah. There's something about the "De" that gives it a whole different vibe, in my opinion. Lila sounds a bit sickeningly sweet, but Delilah is strangely cool and not cutesy.

Delilah seems like a hard name to pair with middle names. I'd avoid anything with L's and probably anything that ends with an 'a'. Some random suggestions...

Delilah Pearl
Delilah Jade
Delilah June
Delilah Ruby
Delilah Chase (probably my favourite)
Delilah Rae / Ray
Delilah Mae / May
Delilah Bridget

I love Delilah. I think it's beautiful.

I can't think of any combos, but I just wanted to champion Delilah. :)

I don't mind Delilah at all. I don't love it enough to use it, but it's got a nice sound. I have the same problem, so I try to run names pat my husband early on and then if it's "not-a-no" (which is the best possible initial reaction I will get), then we see if it grows on us.

Delilah has a pretty sound. My only problem with it aside from it being a bit theatrical/soap opera/romance novel, is the song about "Hey There Delilah." Also a really irritating radio "personality" (if you want to call her that) named Delilah. That probably doesn't mean anything outside of the US, so you may just discard that one.

I really don't like Delilah, because of the Biblical Delilah. I personally wouldn't use it for a DD of my own. I also don't like the meaning of the name. Are you sure you wouldn't use just Lila instead? It's so much nicer and sounds more classy to me.
