A friend of mine is called Delilah and would like to call her baby boy Samson. Good idea / bad idea / neutral? What do you think?

If her name were Juliet would she think it ok to name her son Romeo?

Not a good idea.

Creepy.

Samson is ok but you'll get people misspelling it as Sampson.

Umm no. They were lovers and then Delilah was responsible for his ultimate eye-gouging and death. Weird names for babies.

Sampson and Delilah were lovers then enemies so on that basis, I'd say that is WEIRD

Well it's up to her isn't it.
