Arabella
Delilah
Matilda

These are my favourites, in this order. Could I ask for opinions on your favourite out of them?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Delilah best name on there IMO

CarlaVeloso · 07/03/2015 08:35

Matilda is lovely.

Delilah - Tom Jones.

Arabella is too prissy and frilly for words. Plus I know 3 under 4.

applecatchers36 · 07/03/2015 20:38

Matilda

Sandybananapants · 07/03/2015 20:42

Really like Delilah and Matilda. Arabella, no.

OnceMoreAgainWithFeeling · 07/03/2015 20:55

I like Delilah - i know of the existence of the Tom Jones song, but couldn't sing it - i very much doubt her contemporaries will know it. The other Delilah song is nice! And honestly is what, 5 years old now, her contemporaries won't know that one either.

I don't like Matilda at all, i find the sound ugly. Arabella is ok, but very horsey set. Very Enid Blyton posh girl comes good.

I only like Matilda.

Arabella -- I agree with many others here.
Delilah -- Where I live Lilah/Layla/Lila are the new Ellie and Ella.

I like Matilda a lot. It is popular, not sure if that bothers you or not.

I can't stand Arabella-overly frilly and wet.

I like Delilah as a name but Biblical connections not great.

snowydrops · 09/03/2015 10:03

I like them all but prefer Delilah! A friend has used it otherwise I would do myself. Nickname of Lilah is nice too. Matilda is lovely but getting popular and I'm not sure on Arabella but I don't mind it!

IsadoraQuagmire · 09/03/2015 11:01

I love them all. If I were choosing the one I'd prefer to be named myself, I'd go for Arabella.
Have you considered Araminta? I like that even more...

manicinsomniac · 09/03/2015 13:11

I love Arabella and Matilda.

Delilah is ok.

Twinklestein · 09/03/2015 14:55

Delilah then Matilda, really can't stand Arabella.

Nocturne123 · 09/03/2015 14:56

Love Delilah not keen on the others

Breezy1985 · 09/03/2015 15:01

I only like Matilda on your list.

IsabellaRoarsome · 09/03/2015 15:57

Love Delilah almost used it with dd, Arabella is pretty but I prefer Ariana or Aria. Matilda is a lovely name but quite popular atm and just sounds a little more 'ordinary'? Compared to the other two.
