Re: Delilah?
in reply to a message by Bear
I did read both biblical stories and felt that Jezebel was a crueler woman, but in terms of associations I am not sure that you are in the minority.My niece's name is Lorelei, which my mother loves-and I pointed out the hypocrisy in her opinion, 9i.e why is one bad girl different from the next?) and she backed down from that particular angle- but claimed ultimately it came down to the fact that she finds Delilah trashy, but Lorelei acceptable. Again, I wouldn't care if my husband hadn't decided to become so influenced by all of this. I personally am no more bothered by the biblical than the mythological-but then again, I am someone who loves the name Cain.Demelza is not quite the sound I want, but I do like the Z in it! Thank you for your thoughts on this.
