Hi! I'm currently getting a bit doubtful about the name that I picked a while ago, and I need opinions. Feels like I've already been through a hundred names, but still can't find the perfect one.

Soooo, the name that I fell in love with a few weeks ago was Delia. And now I'm having my doubts, maybe I don't love it as much as I did before..? Recently saw a thread where the name Asha came up, and that sounds so lovely as well. What would you guys choose (for a girl)? Delia or Asha?

I prefer Asha. It makes me think of long hair, joss sticks and hippies. Delia is rather prim.

When is the baby due?
Do you have time to ponder?

I prefer Delia, although it does just make me think of Delia Smith. What about Delilah as others have mentioned? Asha sounds 'harsh' to me

Wow, thanks for all of your feedback! Delia seems to be more popular than Asha, knew there was a reason I fell in love with that name. As for some of the people who say they prefer Delilah or Dahlia, I've already considered them but crossed them off my list (Delilah is a bit of a mouthful for me, and Dahlia sounds beautiful but I've never had a pull towards flower names). Thank you all soooo much
