Help[Opinions] Re: Delilah?
in reply to a message by Manda_Bear
I love the name, and the name doesn't really bother me.
God knows that Delilah's ( the biblical person) name wasn't intended for that bad rep. Her parent's just liked it.
Delilah wasn't trying to make it a bed name.
'Delilah' should be treated as a beautiful name, and respected too. Delilah was a person. 'Delilah' shouldn't be a bad name (in my opinion, it shouldn't be a bad name at ALL) just beacuse it was a person.
God probably darned the person-- not the name.
I mean, a name that would be on the "GOD's very un-preffered names" list would probably go like this:
Damion
Dameon
Devon
Deven
Devan
D'Men
Day'Men
Daymeon
And any other names having to do with demons, devil, or evil things.
Delilah was an evil person.
Not an evil name.
For every name, there is an evil person with that name, and a bad person with that name.
'Delilah' has a bad person, and an un-heard of good person.
Each name is harboring a different story, a different person.
When I grow up, my daughter's name will be 'Delilah Rose'.
Her sister would be 'Jaidenne "Jade" - Storm'
'Delilah' is a magnificent name.

none of names you list have to do with devils or demons...
If you'd taken the trouble to look up their meanings, you would have seen that even though they sound assonant to "devil" or "demon" they have totally different etymologies. Since Devon is actually a region in England, according to your reasonment it's been damned by God?
And anyway, is it only me who finds the whole notion of "God's un-preferred names" slightly disturbing?

Damian has nothing to do with demons . . .
. . . except that it was used as the name of a child in a horror movie a few years ago. I very much doubt that God would get excited about that.

As it's the name of several saints.

Delilah's pretty, but I prefer Dahlia. I wouldn't let a biblical connection (I don't know the story of this character or what she did, sorry) keep you from using it. I don't see why people wouldn't like Delilah just because there was a bad person with the name-I'm sure for every single name out there, that there's a bad person with it. There's no avoiding that. If you like Delilah, use it, and ignore people that wouldn't like the name because of her, one single bearer of the name, out of many.
And to Rocio- I didn't know Damion had anything to do with 'demons, devils, or evil things'. I was always under the impression that people associated it with those things because it sounded like 'demon', and because there was a character Damien in a scary show. Am I missing an associaton or meaning of the name or something? How would those things make God un-preffer the name?
