Is this the right name for our baby girl?

[karendickinson]

We have decided on a baby name! Finally!

Delilah Louise

I know it might sound heavy on the l's but we wanted the middle name to still sound pretty whilst having a special meaning. My middle name is Louise, and my mother in laws name is also Louise so we thought it would be nice for baby to have her grandmothers name as her middle name, as well as it having a connection to me too. My mothers name doesn't sound nice with it hence why we didn't want to pick it. I think the two go well together

Do you think it sounds okay?

It’s lovely OP, congratulations!

Sounds fine to me

Theoretically, I’d agree on the Ls, but actually, it sounds totally fine. I’d go with it!

I think it's lovely, op. I don't think the L's are an issue at all, they flow nicely, and you rarely say someone's full name anyway.

Congratulations! Gorgeous name!

I think t is lovely to have a nod to family for middle names - one of eldest DS's middle names was his great grandad's. I think both names lovely & great you have decided what you like but mostly ( ( I have found ) middle names don't get used much apart from on forms so I would not worry an ounce about the "L" s

Lovely & congratulations

It’s absolutely lovely! So sweet to use mil and your middle name. Even though it’s the tiniest bit ‘L’ heavy, it won’t be noticeable because she won’t be called Delilah Louise day to day, she will be Delilah last name or just Delilah - unless she’s been cheeky!

It’s a really nice name and the two go well together. Congratulations!

Is your Mum going to be OK you honouring your MIL in the name, but not her?

Sounds lovely!! Perfect.

Sounds fine to me.

But just in case you hadn't considered it (I'm sure you have) there is a Tom Jones song Delilah. Thought I would mention if it's something that would effect your choice and you weren't aware. Definitely think strongly on it if you live in and around Stoke.

Sounds very nice together, flows easy, go for it:)

Beautiful and congratulations. 💐

If you both love it, it's the right name.

Love it.

Really nice

Lovely

I like it however I personally wouldn't choose a name which honoured one parent over another ie his mum and not your mum too - I think I'd be a bit upset if I was her?

Not keen on Delilah, but Louise is lovely and has undeservedly fallen out of favour (overuse in previous generations, but it's still an absolute classic) - if it were me I would lead the revival and have it as a first name.

We gave child 1 PIL first name as middle name and child 2 my Dad's first name as middle name. It seemed fair, and tbh I don't think middle names matter at all.
My children barely know what theirs are and they wouldn't know their friends' middle names.
