Delilah rhymes with our surname. Ridiculous or ok?

DH and I are really struggling to agree on girl's names akthough we're pretty much there with a boy's name (I've posted a separate thread on this)

One name we both really like is Delilah but... it rhymes with our surname! Initially we both thought that would be too comical but(probably in desperation as we can't find another girl's name that feels like 'the one') DH has started wondering if we're worrying too much and actually it would be fine.

Our surname is double-barrelled and is similar to Bank-Tyler, so the full name would be:

Delilah Bank-Tyler

We thought the only way to get a truly honest opinion on this was to put it out to you guys - so, please do your worst, if you think it's really silly then don't hold back to save our feelings!

Thank you!

How about similar names to Delilah, like Dahlia or Delia?

I think your surname goes better with first names that don't end in an ah/er sound.

Emily Bank-Tyler
Imogen Bank-Tyler
Harriet Bank-Tyler

I would be a bit worried that it would wind up being "Deli-ler Tyler".
