Imogen or Delilah...

We're down to these two names.

I adore the name Delilah. I know it has certain negative biblical connotations - these don't bother me personally, but would they colour your view of a person called Delilah?

Dh likes Delilah but thinks Imogen is a safer choice. I also like Imogen, though I'm not keen on 'Imi' (I much prefer Lilah as a nickname).

If we go with Imogen, then we'll probably use Delilah as the middle name.

If we go with Delilah, then we want a middle name that doesn't start with a vowel, so were thinking Delilah Tegan/Delilah Margot/Delilah Maeve.

Any opinions?

I love Delilah. I can’t convince DH as he thinks that she’ll have the Tom Jones song sung at her at regular intervals throughout her life and I fear he may be right.

I also love Imogen and the only reason ive vetoed it off my list is that I keep hearing/reading how popular it is though I’ve yet to meet one.

Delilah Maeve or Imogen Delilah.

Sorry, I’m no help Grin

Not a fan of Delilah as it reminds me of the song " hey there delilah" and the singer turned out to be massive stalker/ creep...

Prefer Imogen.

I personally prefer Delilah , but I think that's because I know a really sweet little Delilah.

Imogen.

Like Imogen but love Delilah/Lilah. The negative biblical connotation doesn't occur to me when I hear it. My favourite middle name is Margot.
