Delilah, Lyra, Violet or Skye

[Opalbubbles]

Baby girl due early December. Thought I would share my shortlist of names to see what votes they receive. In no particular order here is my list.
Delilah
Lyra
Violet
Skye

I love Violet

Violet is lovely. Quite like Lyra but not a fan of the other names.

Violet

How many syllables in your surname? These names have everything from 1 syllable to 3 so will each flow differently with your surname.

Delilah- Reminds me of the Tom Jones song and I just think 'Why, why, why'. In my mind, I think of an elderly lady or a very negative connection with the bible. Sorry this is my least favourite from your list.
Lyra- I always read/hear it as Lycra or Liar
Violet- Love
Skye- Love

Some others: Noelle, Brooke, Amber, Coralie, Holly/Hollie, Natalie/Natalia

Violet.

I really like Delilah (and there are several songs) and Violet. Not so keen on the others.

Adore Skye, others pretty too but Skye my favourite

Lovely list!

My order is-

1. Lyra - love this - so simple, pretty and suits all ages well.
2. Delilah - getting more popular and so the association with the Tom Jones song is fading for me. It’s got lovely nn options and a pretty sound.
3. Violet - lovely name. I’m slightly put off by the violent soundalike.
4. Skye - nice name, maybe a bit “hippy” for my taste.

Delilah - awful
Lyra - don't like it at all
Violet - it's OK, will be Vi
Skye - awful

Skye is my fave- pretty and underused but the Paw Patrol reference may be a positive or a negative depending on your child.

The others are too trendy for me, sorry (I don’t mind popular names as such if they are more classic, but I hate trends as I think they often date).

I love the name Skye

I absolutely love Delilah.

Skye is my favourite.

I also liike Lila, Lyla and Adele

Delilah - awful. Why would you name your child after a biblical seductress who betrayed her lover for money?

Violet, Lyra are both beautiful.

If you like Skye, what about Brooke?

Delilah is a beautiful sounding name, but I would wholly judge someone for using it - don't they know who Delilah was?

Lyra is nice, quite trendy at the moment. Violet gives me a bit of a headache, and Skye is a bit silly.

In order of preference:
Delilah
Violet
Lyra
Skye (I wouldn't even consider this one tbh)

Struggling to understand how Skye is a ‘silly’ name… but Lyra isn’t!

I know multiple Delilahs, Lylas and Lyras under 5 so I would go for Violet or Skye just so they're less likely to have classmates with the same or similar names.

I like all of them but my favourite is Violet. Have you considered Lyla/Lilah? Bit of a mix of Delilah and Lyra

Lyra and Violet for me. Not keen on Skye or Delilah (I'm not sure she'll thank you for that one).

I love Delilah and Violet. I wanted Violet for my DDs name but my DH vetoed it. I think its beautiful

Lyra is my favourite - beautiful.

All great, probably Lyra the one I like most.

I love Lyra , with Violet a close second

Lyra gets my vote. I have a Lyra and she loves her name. She is 15.
