Baby due any day and still have no name

I'd love a little help coming up with some names for our baby girl who was due yesterday.

For this entire pregnancy I thought my husband and I had agreed on the name Delilah. I have a feeling he told his parents recently, who I know don't like the biblical and Tom Jones references. He's suddenly said (2 weeks ago) that he doesn't like that she might have negative associations with her name. He won't budge now.

I love the name Delilah, so any suggestions similar would be fantastic. I don't mind Freya. I prefer slightly more unusual names.

DH has suggested:
Cecelia
Lydia
Isla

Er.. Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkel, while being a fantastic song, is not really an improvement on Delilah by Tom Jones Wink

How about:
Tallulah
Jemima
Wynona
Marina

I really like Lydia and Freya as alternatives. Other suggestions:
Isadora
Delphine
Adeline
Leila

Delilah is lovely, as are all your name choices. Though Isla is very popular and Freya is pretty popular too.

Cecilia could be Cici for short.

What about
Saskia
Lucinda
Daphne
Delphine

Delicia - I had a friend of this name, she was as lovely as the name sounds! But I do think it's unusual. If you use it please tag me and tell me. Smile

I think Delilah is lovely, I didn't even know it was a biblical name and actually didn't even think of the song til you mentioned it either.

Other names that give me a similar vibe... Melody, Joy, Felicity

All the best with deciding
