L middle name for Delilah

[Holeinthetoad]

Basically that. After we’d chosen Delilah DH mentioned he would like baby to have the same initials as his mum as one of our other children has my mums name.

I’m drawing a blank, Delilah is already quite L heavy so think it needs to be a shorter name. Any suggestions?

My top contender was Loveday but DH not keen

I know you say you have your heart seton Delilah, but could I suggest that you reread the story of Delilah to make sure you are happy with your choice. If it’s definitely Delilah, and if middle name must start with L, I would go for Delilah Louise.

[FoofOfTheWalkingDead]

I would perhaps caution against an L middle name. What if your child has a speech impediment where she has difficulty with Ls? Ls are quite difficult for children even without any speech problems. She could end up saying it Dewiwah. If she has a different middle name at least she will be able to say one of them.
I used to work in a special education school and this came up rather a lot. It's obviously much less common in mainstream schools but it really made me think when I named my own DC.

Loveday would be perfect. What a name.
I think Delilah Louise flows well. Maybe Lois?
Delilah Lois.

Delilah Louise is the only suggestion so far that sounds reasonably nice!

My choice too.

Lawrence

Laurence is a boys name…

Delilah Loveday is epic and if your husband is imposing initials on you I think he should suck it up

Otherwise I’d go for Lois

I can see why people are suggesting Louise but it’s a little meh

[Etinoxaurus]

@TeenDivided

I was going to say that too.

Me three!

[WordtoYoMumma]

I love Delilah Louise! Lil' Lilah-Lou ❤️

[thegreylady]

Whoever said Lawrence is a boy’s name hasn’t read Antonia Forest’s books about the Marlow family which includes identical twin girls called Nicola and Lawrence (known as Laurie).
Lowri is a nice L name to follow Delilah.

[grievinggirlneedsadvice]

Delilah Lucille
Delilah Leanne
Delilah Louise as mentioned

[MaggieFS]

Louise or Lucy flow well.

Two syllables work well.

Avoid repeating the 'a' sound at the end of Delilah e.g, Delilah Laura with the double a sound doesn't work, IMHO.

[mathanxiety]

I think you need a longer name for the middle name:
Delilah Lucinda Surname
Delilah Leonora Surname
Delilah Letitia Surname
Delilah Leonie Surname
Delilah Linnea Surname
Delilah Leilani Surname
Delilah Larissa Surname
Delilah Leontine Surname
Delilah Lowenna Surname
Delilah Ludovine Surname


Shorter:
Delilah Linden Surname
Delilah Lucillle Surname

Delilah Lavender

Delilah Louise is perfect

[UselessExLondoner]

I don't really think it matters?!

How often do both named get said together, other than when announcing the birth or filling out a form?!

Just go with a middle name that you like.

I think Delilah Louise flows the best but I'm not sure it's that important!

If you like Delilah but also love Lila you could have a Delilah Lila and it really wouldn't be a big deal once you're past the introducing baby to everyone phase.

Quite like Delilah Lila actually. 😂

Just my opinion!

[Carouselfish]

Delilah Lane
Delilah Lake

Or
D Lilah as a middle name

[daysleepers]

Delilah Loveday is gorgeous!

I'm sure every other girl has Louise as a middle name.

Delilah Lois?
