Help! Baby girl born on Wednesday and we just can't decide on a name. Our shortlist is:

Matilda
Delilah
Saskia
Eliza

My fave is probably Delilah but I worry slightly about negative connotations of the name... Am
I being daft? Also like but can't use: Alexa, Sophia, Isla, jemima.

Saskia

Congratulations Smile

I like Delilah, it has a beautiful sound. I wouldn't worry about the Tom Jones song, really, there has been a more recent song which is more positive (Plain White Ts or something?) Saskia is also nice. And Matilda and Eliza are fine, although I would maybe choose Elizabeth, and have Eliza for a nickname.

I love Eliza.

I know a 6 yo Delilah, I was a bit unsure at first but I've grown to love it, go for it.

I love Eliza.

Eliza is lovely

Zahrah5 · 27/03/2015 17:40

Delilah definitelly.

Im considering Dahlia myself and that is quite similar.
Not sure what negative connotations Delilah would have?

Saskia comes as second.

Eliza I think it's a lovely name.

Oh! and many congratulations!! Wine Wine Thanks

DailyFailSideBarOfShame · 27/03/2015 17:37

They are all lovely but Saskia is the best. I love Matilda but I think it's become very popular.

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 27/03/2015 17:37

Matilda

Allalonenow · 27/03/2015 17:36

Saskia by a very long way.

I think you are right to have doubts about Delilah.

ThatBloodyWoman · 27/03/2015 17:30

Saskia.
I came close to picking that name myself.
Ob. Sassy as nn.
