I love them both. DH will hate them both, but he didn't like DD1's name initially, so will work on him 😉

Neither nor. Especially if your dh isn't on board.
I know someone with a Dalia (long first 'a') - how about that instead? Or Delia?

I love Dinah. Did dh technically get to pick/approve your first babies name? We are having a boy and I've let dh pick a name as he hated all my lovely suggestions! Lol (so I can pick the second child's name if we have another, haha)

Delilah. Dinah is almost identical to Diner.

Delina is also very pretty, as an alternative

I don't like dina only because I knew a few growing up.

As someone mentioned Daalia is a nice alternative, I was thinking of this one for my new addition husband is against it.

out of the two you mentioned Delilah, but I'm not keen on any.

Delilah, with Della as nickname.

Dinah reminds me of Diner.

Delilah. It's my first choice when I have a girl

They both very strongly remind me of the 1970s (when I was little) and songs by Tom Jones (Delilah obviously) and Dinah reminds me of Diana Dors for some reason. I think peroxide hair and buxom TV ladies. But that's just me.
