What is the problem with the name Delilah?

Is it just the biblical reference and meaning seductress?

I really like this name and we're struggling to find names we both like for our imminent DD.

Are there any other names that have a similar sound without the issues?

Delia, Dahlia, and Danica are all along the same vein, but no harlotesque connotations!

how old is that song and who even sings it now?

Er it's very old and loads of people still sing it! Therefore it's pretty certain that that song will always feature in the life of a real life Delilah.

My dh really wanted to name dd2 Delilah. I didn't like it so compromised and it's her middle name. I wish it wasn't. I still don't like it.

It's like marmite, some love it some hate it, some why why why it!
