Sorry, but what do you mean by Biblical looking ending?

This is not scientific by any means, but whenever I see an "-ah" at the end of a name, I think of Biblical names like Delilah, Hadassah, Tovah, Deborah, Hannah, Leah, Sarah, Susannah, Micah, Jeremiah, Elijah, etc.
Lila fits into a different category in my mind, old fashioned names popular in Victorian / Edwardian times.
Of course there are exception to this, it's just a general preference in my own mind. When I see Lilah, I ask myself, "where's the 'De-' part?"
