I love the name to be honest but I would never use it because I always think of Sampson and Delilah. I wouldn't want my little girl to use her feminine powers for evil!!! Same with Sampson. i actually love it but who wants the history of the name... a son weak for the weily ladies!!!! hahaha!!

It's pretty, but I find any name with "lil" in it currently overused to the point of being rather blase. It's just not a very fresh syllable.

I've met only one (middle school). This Delilah had a five-syllable Italian surname. The whole effect was quite dramatic.

I can't see it ever becoming outrageously common. I'd prefer the long 'e' pronunciation over the long 'i' but it's not gonna happen where I live. ;-) Still, I quite like Delilah even though it has baggage.

I like Delilah but perfer just Lila. I dont see it getting super popular.

I quite like it and think it has a nice sound, but I wouldn't use it, because all I can think of when I hear it is "Why, why why, Delilah" being belted out by Tom Jones (Welsh singer, famous for having millions of pairs of knickers thrown at him!)

I can see the attraction of it, but it's not my taste at all. I can see Lilah/Lyla/Lila becoming more popular.

I think it has a really pretty sound, but I can't dissociate it from the Biblical Delilah, and I don't think it's the greatest connection. I definitely think it's a name that will get more common, but it isn't yet. I've never heard of one in real life.

I really like Delilah as a name but not the association with the Biblical character. I've never met a Delilah so I don't know that it's becoming too common. It may end up in the 80's or 90's of the top 100 but I really don't know. =)

I have only met one Delilah, she was a client where I work, she was Iranian. I immediately remembered her name when she came back a month later, because I thought it was pretty and suited her well.

I think it's rising in popularity, plus it has this "lila" sound that is quite trendy, where I live at least.

I really love this name, but the annoying song "Hey There Delilah" ruined it just a little bit.

I've never met a Delilah but it's a very pretty name.

I prefer Lila, but I can appreciate Delilah. I don't think that it will end up in the top 20. While it might one day make the top 100, I don't think that it will move beyond the lower half of the top 100 list. Lila seems more likely to become popular.

I have only met one Delilah. She is now in her early 20's.
