My mum was and her friend were laughing that this woman's new granddaughter was called Delilah- they just thought of Tom Jones. I am pg and I think I quite like it- hormones or quite sweet?!

Its fine if you want the first question everyone asks her "are you from Stoke then?"

I like it...I am really struggling for names this time round and suggested it to DH in a text message....he didn't even reply..!!!

I was thinking of Flora myself on the thread i started it didn't go down well due to the margarine connection. I would like to think that you could take a name and it would suit that person regardless of any song / products etc associated with it, but maybe I am living in cloud cuckoo land!

I like it, but have a friend called Cecelia and she gets sung at too often, so I wonder if Delilah's would get the same treatment?

My 6mo dn is a delilah. I don't like it personally but if you worry about products/associations/songs/rhymes/spelling/MN opinion, you can discount just about every name. I think what matters is if the parents like it. And it's appropriate. I mean, you might like 'Latrine' for a girl but it's up to you to be sensible.
