I love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]! It’s one of those nice common-but-not-too-common names. Honestly, I think a couple people will give pop culture references, but most will not.

I think it’s a nice reference to the song! Personally don’t like it do it being the name of a radio show I often listen to on long trips, so I associate it with older more grandma women! Also know of a mommy instagramer with that name! She’s quite nice and her content is fun

I dont really like it, something about it sounds unappealing to me.
A [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is most likely quite cheerful, full of energy and zest. I’d describe her as ‘sunny’ if that makes sense?
Maybe they might get a bit annoying, but I dont think anything too irritating.

Love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] so, so much!

Terrible with imagery, sorry!

I don’t think [name_m]Samson[/name_m] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] would get mentioned too much, but Hey There [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] might. I can see it getting a little irritating, but I don’t think that’s a reason not to use the name. [name_m]Plenty[/name_m] of other [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]’s in the world!

I would definitely use it as a first, but it of course works fine in the middle as well.

Delilah is bright, bold and melodic! I like it. I don’t think the references would be too annoying

I like it, it’s bouncy and lively and fun. It does sound a little “young” to me, but that’s probably because it’s only really become popular for the first time in recent years. I’m sure it will age just fine.

Hey There [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] could get a little annoying, but at least it’s not an embarrassing song. I don’t think the [name_m]Samson[/name_m] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] association will be mentioned much.

Delilah always reminds me of [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f], both have that bright, bouncy vibe.

I love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. It’s a family nickname of mine due to a long story involving my little sister not being able to say my real name. I wish it was my name! It’s pretty.

I can see ‘Hey There [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]’ being sung as often as any other song connected name ‘Hey [name_u]Jude[/name_u]’, ‘[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]’ etc.
It’s a nice enough name, was on my list for a long while. Well recognised and bold.

It’s not my taste, but I think it does sound cheerful and melodic. It sounds very old school southern (American) or country to me like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f].

It has a very nice sound and vibe.
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u] is nice, too, and a bit more toned down. I actually like them both.

I think [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] has a very pretty sound and feel, and I think it could wear well on any girl, though I tend to picture her more with darker features myself. As for the associations, I think it really depends. Some people will naturally make one or both of those connections, others won’t. If you love the name, though, I don’t think they should hold you back! I think it works as either a fn or a mn – very versatile. :slight_smile:

I really love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. I could see a little [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] wearing rain boots and a sundress, carrying around a watering can to help out with the garden, being very imaginative, and reading a lot. And the references aren’t the first thing that I think of. I like it as a first name or as a middle.

I’m not a huge fan of the Biblical story, but I honestly see the song as being a more obvious reference.
Because of the connotations, the name is not for me, but I don’t mind if other people use it! It is pretty.

I picture a young girl with the name [name_f]Delilah[/name_f].

I would prefer it as a middle name.

I wouldn’t ever use it just because if the biblical story attached but I actually hear [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and think of the radio host more then anything so that is a positive namesake attached.

I love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], but I personally can’t use it because the [name_m]Samson[/name_m] association is too strong. I wouldn’t judge a parent for using it, though! If you’re too worried about the associations, then use it as a middle.

Delilah is a beautiful name but I can’t stand the [name_m]Samson[/name_m] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] associations. In my [name_u]Christian[/name_u] family it’s like naming your kid [name_f]Jezebel[/name_f] or something like that.

I like [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]! I’m not religious so the Biblical story isn’t really a connection for me. However, the name is so popular that I don’t think it would really be much of a problem.

The song is forefront.

I love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and it has so many cool nn possibilities. (I love the song, by the way.) The name is used enough now that no longer think “[name_m]Samson[/name_m] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f].”

I think [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and the many nns could fit any girl, but if I had to pick one description, I would go with a dark-haired girl with some curl/waves on the ends. She would have grey-blue eyes and she would be very attractive. She would be strong and feminine.
