Re: Daphne, Danielle, Delilah

Delilah, because I think it's pretty and I think that the Biblical story is the only strike against it. I've never been wild about Danielle, though I don't hate it, but in addition it was just too popular. I hate Daphne. Too close to "daffy" if you ask me. I could live with the Biblical Delilah if I had to.

I love Delilah. The Bible story doesn't matter to me, and neither does the song. I actually like the song, and I think it's pretty.Do you feel differently about Daniella?

No, not really. Not too much of a difference there. Also I will throw in I dislike the nickname Danny or Dannie or whatever spelling for a girl.

The most common perception is that the "ie" ending is more feminine.
