To me, it helps that Eve means "to live/breathe" and David means "beloved". I'd like Delilah if it didn't mean "weak, languishing".
I don't really dislike Lilith, but I can't image naming a kid it, same as Azrael - it seems like Lucifer (fun name but off limits), except not quite on the same level, because it's less recognizable. I guess it's also relevant Lilith has had some use lately in the US, but I don't know how much that affects my opinion (Messiah has been used even more, lately, and I'd rather be called Lucifer than Messiah); popular use did help perception of Delilah some imo, though. But even if recent popularity helps dispel negative associations with Lilith, Eve's still been used longer and more consistently (without being overused), which is part of why it seems nicer.
