Sister for Delilah

Hey, struggling to find names I love for our baby girl. Have worked with children for years so lots of names I am put of off.

I like Beatrix and Amelie.

My name ends in lie so not sure if that is a problem with Amelie?

Also the middle name will possibly be violet.

If anyone has any ideas that would be great thank you!!

Delia popped straight into my head when I read your thread title!

Tallulah Violet sounds lovely

How about Annabel? 3 syllables again, but with the emphasis on the first so sounds different to Delilah, which has the emphasis on the second syllable?

I know a lovely Delilah, aged 8, and her younger sister is Carmen. Both fab girls, and I think their names go really well together.

Margot is a great suggestion!

I see Delilah as a bit of a feisty, sparky name and Beatrix works well as it has a similar vibe.

I don't see Amelie in the same way. It's a bit bland and anyway it only sounds good if you happen to have a French accent.

I love Beatrix!

Other names you may like:

  • Madeleine
  • Esme
  • Evelyn

I know of two Delilahs one has a sister called Edie and the other has sisters Betsy and Margot x

I really like Beatrix! Also love the name violet. I would have it as a first name if I had another.

Delilah is lovely!
I think Matilda or Penelope go well!

Firebird83 · 16/11/2020 00:19

Beatrix is perfect

ChelseeDagger · 15/11/2020 23:35

I have a Delilah.
Her sister is Sylvie

Chimbleys · 15/11/2020 23:17

My 3yr old's 'girlfriend' at nursery is Delilah (such a pretty name) and her sister is Gisele.

AbbieMea · 15/11/2020 21:52

Delilah was a huge contender when hubby and I where deciding on our twin girl names but we ended up going for Isabella and Mackenzie, we called their younger sisters Abbie and Hallie which all go with Delilah so well.
Good luck, hope all goes well for you and your family!

Brighterthansunflowers · 15/11/2020 20:30

I think Delilah and Beatrix go well together and I really like Beatrix. I actually personally prefer Beatrice but think Beatrix goes better with Delilah

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 15/11/2020 20:27

I don't think Susannah or Cecilia have been suggested yet? To me they have a similar lyrical feel as Delilah..

@Tvchocolatetea, in what way have I taken the piss out of names?

Yes, I do have children, and they and I are perfectly happy with the names.

I was going to suggest Tallulah for your DD2, but I suppose that would be taking the piss too, would it? Never mind that I think that it has a similar length, and that I think it is pretty and have thought so since I first saw Bugsy Malone. I also thought of Jemima, which I love, but I think it might be too rhymey with your DD1's name.
Tamara is nice and has the same sort of length.

Some lovely suggestions thanks so much.

@MikeUniformMike can I ask do you have children? If so what are their names? As you love taking the piss so much out of others choices. We all have different tastes, no need to be unkind about other people's though.
