Dahlia or Delilah?

Which do your prefer - [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] or [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], and what are possible nicknames? Thinking [name_u]June[/name_u] for a middle name; sister is [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]. Thanks!

I personally prefer [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], but I like [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] better with [name_f]Eliora[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] better! I also think [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] works really nicely with [name_f]Eliora[/name_f]. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is great- possible nicknames could be [name_u]Dell[/name_u], [name_f]Della[/name_f], DJ, and also [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] which was already suggested.

I prefer [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], and [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] would be adorable! But [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is also sweet and works well with the mn, so you really can’t go wrong here. :slight_smile:

I prefer Dahlia, unfortunately the association to Black Dahlia is a bit much for me so I would definitely go for Delilah.

If the Black Dahlia association doesn’t bother you at all then I would choose that one.

I prefer [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]!

My favorite is [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]! I love it! Sweet, floral, international, unique and sophisticated.
Dali, [name_u]Ali[/name_u] and [name_f]Lia[/name_f] are good nicknames. You may also like [name_f]Lala[/name_f], [name_f]Dia[/name_f] or [name_f]Flower[/name_f].
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is a gorgeous name too!

Hi there.

Eliora [name_f]Fern[/name_f] is gorgeous! [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is amazing for her sister. It’s similar to [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], but just a little quieter…Does that make sense? [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] just seems fussy to me, & [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] is beautiful, feminine, soft & a tad mysterious. It’s more unique too, but not complicated. And has lovely botanical imagery.

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:
