Baby due any day and still have no name

[Minkies13]

I'd love a little help coming up with some names for our baby girl who was due yesterday.

For this entire pregnancy I thought my husband and I had agreed on the name Delilah. I have a feeling he told his parents recently, who I know don't like the biblical and Tom Jones references. He's suddenly said (2 weeks ago) that he doesn't like that she might have negative associations with her name. He won't budge now.

I love the name Delilah, so any suggestions similar would be fantastic. I don't mind Freya. I prefer slightly more unusual names.

DH has suggested:
Cecelia
Lydia
Isla

Penny21xxx ah thank you, it's a lovely name and she always gets compliments on it

Lyla

The song Delilah would put me off.
It’s only recently I’ve realised the lyrics are about Delilah being stabbed to death and deserving it because she allegedly cheated.

Freya is lovely, also Lyla, Maeve, Verity.

Love the name Delilah
Not heard the Tom Jones song in about 20 years and don't make the connection anymore anyway. Next generation won't get the reference.

Cecilia is a saint and Lydia is a Biblical name FWIW. Both lovely names.

I actually make the connection with the Plain White T's - Hey there Delilah over the Tom Jones song and suspect the younger generation may do the same.

I really like Delilah but you could go for Lila/Lilah instead.

I have a delilah, it's very weird but barely anyone I have spoken to knows the biblical association, I thought it would be more well known...maybe nobody saw the epic bible movies I watched as a kid🤷‍♀️

The song thing doesn't bother her at all...in fact she thinks it's cool having two songs with her name...her guitar teacher taught her why, why delilah and she was happy with that

Other names I liked were
Camilla
Helena
Cassandra

Er.. Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkel, while being a fantastic song, is not really an improvement on Delilah by Tom Jones

How about:
Tallulah
Jemima
Wynona
Marina

Yes I thought of this too. The Simon and Garfunkel song is really catchy and if you're worried about people singing a song at her I'd avoid this one.
