Delilah
I've always thought this name was beautiful, even when I was REALLY young. But the biblical association has bothered me a lot, as well, so I kind of temporarily forgot about it until yesterday.My mom came home from work (she owns/runs a childrens boutique) and said the cutest 3-month-old baby came in, named Delilah. It kind of made me think about the name. It's pretty, and I like most of the nick names a person could give to it. So WDYT? Any combo suggestions? So far I like:Delilah Jane
Delilah Noelle
Delilah Pearl

My comment for Delilah gives my opinion: I do not think this is a good name. Despite how pretty it is, the original Delilah betrayed one of God's people, Samson. Because she betrayed Samson, I don't think this is a good name. I do acknowledge that it is pretty, though.

It is gorgeous, but the Biblical association prevents it from ever being able to be used IMO.Delilah Jane, Delilah Noelle, and Delilah Pearl are all wonderful comobos.
