I certainly wouldn't call a child Oedipus either. Or Hamlet (came to mind because Freud, haha). But I think that since Delilah is fairly common as a name, it has more associations beyond the Bible. Oedipus doesn't. Any child named Oedipus would be received with much confusion and concern. Delilah might raise eyebrows in some circles but you wouldn't question the parents' sanity.
