Tallulah - no bad Biblical associations :b

I like both, especially Delilah pronounced without the long 'i' sound. Still, Delilah has such baggage that I'd go with Tallulah. OTOH, I went to school with a girl named Delilah. She had a five-syllable Italian surname and the name really worked for her.

I prefer Tallulah, definitely. Delilah has negative connotations, because of "Samson and Delilah" in the Bible, so that puts me off the name.

I like Delilah. Its unusual, lovely, and has an old-fashioned feel, especially with the middle name Rose. Tallulah doesn't really do anything for me.

I used to love both, but Tallulah as lost some of its appeal to me recently, and Delilah has become even more appealing. The "D" sound is a personal favourite in girls names at the moment. The biblical associations of Delilah don't bother me. Delilah Rose is delightful, even if I don't usually care for Rose.

Tallulah

I just think of that radioshow host Delilah, the one who prys into the lives of every person who calls in! :)

I really like both names, but Tallulah is definately my choice. I think that either name with Rose as mn is way to frilly, but I understand the connection and it flows well.

---

I'm pretty bad at mn's, but maybe:
Delilah Marie (also filler I guess)
Delilah Marielle
Delilah Colette
Delilah Celeste
Delilah Rochelle

---

Talulla Brigid (I feel it's more appropriate to use the similar Irish variation with the Irish mn. :) )
Tallulah Josephine
Tallulah Eloise
Tallulah Francine (or any -een name really)

Delilah!

Delilah!

So many great associations I have with Delilah. Tallulah's nice and all, but it's never really drawn me in - too frilly for my tastes. In fact, a lot of the prissy-est girls in my school have pets named Tallulah, and I think that's why I have that association.

---

So, Delilah!

Tallulah

Delilah always sounded kind of dark to me. I like Delia though

Delilah

I actually love filler names....not because I can't think of anything better, but because they're always beautiful and go nicely. Delilah Rose is beautiful.

I think Delilah does sound more feminine and classy, and I really dislike Tallulah, but if I was really to pick one to name a child, I would definitely say Tallulah. The associations of Delilah are way too much for me.

Delilah.

Tallulah is ok, but Delilah is really pretty.

Delilah Rose is nice. I don't particularly like Tallulah.

Delilah.

I love Tallulah! Delilah makes me think of the Delilah radio show.

neither

Delilah all the way

Tallulah sounds like someone saying goodbye! Like toot a loo

I prefer Tallulah (actually, I prefer Talulla). To me, Delilah has such a sultry and rapacious image, if feels inappropriate on both little girls and CEOs.

I prefer Delilah very much over Tallulah. Tallulah is a kind of tacky name,.

---

I hate when people consider a name to be a "filler" name. I think Rose is very simple and sophisticated! Delilah Rose is beautiful, and very classy.

Delilah Catherine or Katherine...
It's hard to think of more, because I like Delilah Rose just fine.
