Phoebe and Delilah

[karmachameleon999]

What are your thoughts on the name Phoebe and Delilah?
Struggling to find a name I love. Have biblical boys names but also wanted a Spanish inspired name but can't seem to find anything perfect.
There is nothing really Spanish and Biblical.
A lot of the biblical names I have negative associations with, like Rebecca, Sara, Ruth, Bethany, Hannah etc as they were all names I grew up with.

I much prefer Phoebe to Delilah (I am old enough to start singing the Tom Jones song every time I hear this name . . . sorry)

Some other biblical or 'faith' names I can think of are

Esther

Thea

Lydia

Miriam

Mary/Maria

Jemima

Judith

Josephine (Josie)

Gloria

Keziah

Leah

Martha

Naomi

Philippa

Stephanie

Simone

Love Phoebe!!

Delilah - I only really like for the nn potential of Della / Lilah

I really like Delilah. Phoebe feels so overused.

I love Phoebe. Delilah is OK but I also can’t past the song. Plus, I’d rather be called Phoebe.

I absolutely love Pheobe.

I much prefer pheobe

Susanna? It’s Biblical but not as obvious as some. Ditto Julia and Claudia - both mentioned in the Bible but very briefly. All 3 are well used internationally too (especially the later 2 since they are Latin).

Ive never been keen on the sound of Phoebe (all those “ee’s”) and Delilah is quite trendy (plus most older people struggle to get past the Bible story imo).

Maria is about as biblical as you could get.
Magdalena
Susanna
Raquel
Sara
Noemi

I prefer Phoebe to Delilah .

I know a 12 year old Phoebe and a 4 year old Delilah. I think you would have less Phoebe's in the school year.

Not Delila due to delulu.

Not keen on Phoebe as it's got the 2 eeeeee sound. Love Noemi Leah and Marie or Mary, nickname Mia.

I think both Phoebe and Delilah are lovely names.

A previous poster mentioned the Tom Jones song "Delilah". I instead think about the song "Hey There Delilah", from 2006, by the band Plain White T's. Great song!

Other Biblical names
Salome
Deborah
Candace
Bathsheba

I was going to suggest Maria too for a Spanish and Biblical feel.

Otherwise, Phoebe is lovely. I'm less keen on Delilah, although it does have nice nickname potential.

Tamara - not from the Bible but Tamar is. Tamara Rojo is Spanish.

Dorcas or Talitha?

I love Delilah I like Phoebe as well but I know a few babies who have been called that lately

Phoebe.
