Lila?

[Othelloo]

Hi...so Delilah received mixed reviews.

What about Lila? Is it a classic name?

Do you like it?

Pronounced lie-la

It's pretty, but it's not in any way a classic. It's a bit of a wishy washy name with not much about it, tbh.

Delilah is much nicer, it's strong & fabulous. As long as you don't mind its history, that is.

it's short and sweet.

I love Delilah, and Lila for short is so nice. That way she has the option!

It doesn’t do it for me, sounds a bit like Lilo and also very like Lola which I’m also not a fan of.

No not classic, boring name to me.

Sounds like sanitary protection, sorry.

It's not classic. If you like Delilah use it! Don't listen to what strangers on the internet say! One thread they are fawning over a name and on another thread it will get ripped to shreds.
I love Delilah! It's the name of my old dog and I wish I had saved it for a daughter now!

Sounds like you missed the C off Lilac... Though I do actually like Lilac 😂

I think it’s boring,sorry! But I do like Delilah.

I'm not a fan, I prefer strong names.

How about Lyra ? Stronger to my ear.

Delilah is lovely

Lila is awful. Reminds me if lilo on a swimming pool

I find it v bland as well. It has no substance to it. Fine as a nickname for something else though. Not a classic either.

Thanks everyone.

I thought it was classic in the sense that it’s “vintage”.

However since it’s been likened to Lola, I’m quite dubious now of its longevity as a timeless name. Might just be trendy

I like Lila and I like it spelt it that way, it was my grandmother's middle name so I'd have loved to use it.

She was born in the 1930s by the way.

I know two! Like it. I teach and a nice alternative to Lily- there are millions

Lovely name. I prefer it short for Delilah though.

I've known a Lila. She had to constantly explain that it was lie-la and not lee-la. I love the name Delilah

What about Layla? Delilah to me sounds very old fashioned. I do like some of the older names, so I'm not anti older names just ones like that.

I know one named "Lila" but it's pronounced Lilla.
I think I'd probably spell it "Lilah" to get the Lie-la sound.

Sorry meant Leyla, probably the better version?

I like Lila! Not a fan of Delilah.

Lila Jade or Lila Jane are beautiful combos to me!

Doing family tree recently, I came across a relative called Lylie recently. Quite liked it.

I know a child called Lila but pronounced Lil-a so would think could lead to some confusion.
Don’t really like either pronunciation - sorry.
