Useable? Yes or No?
Is it too much linked to the biblical reference (prostitute)? Or do you think people are over all that now?
Would love to hear your thoughts. Delilah would be sister Noah.

I think it's gorgeous! I don't think the song is so much well known with the younger generations nowadays as much anyway and may even fade with time.

The (gorgeous) little Delilah I know is two and already sings the 'My, my, my Delilah' line because so many people sing it to her! Doesn't put me off the name though, I think it is lovely.

What about Della instead. My mum had a lovely Italian friend called Della.
Della is lovely! Quite different too.

I like it. Also like Delaina, similar without the Tom Jones vibe

Gosh no it’s got Tom Jones written all over it! I also think that the lyrics are quite dark!
