[Opinions] Re: Pandora and Delilah
in reply to a message by Lily
I like the pretty sound of the name Delilah, but I'm not in love with it. Aside from the hair-cutting story in the Bible, there is that dumb song about "Hey There Delilah" (also a not dumb song about "Why Why Why Delilah" by Tom Jones) and a truly obnoxious radio (personality" named Delilah who takes on-air calls from pathetic people and plays super-easy-listening music.I don't like Pandora at all, it sounds stagey and overdone.

I've only ever listened to the station that Delilah is associated with when it plays 24/7 Christmas music, butI think I can say that she is, without a doubt, the absolute worst part of the holiday season.I find her more grating than, like, I don't know. Alex Trebek. "Obnoxious" is almost too kind of a word.I don't really have a point here except that I think your assessment of Delilah is pretty accurate. I guess also that the mere mention of that radio woman is enough to inspire a rage that is strong enough that I feel compelled to purposelessly lash out against her on the internet.

I don't think you like anything. How ridiculously negative can you get? I have yet to see a positive comment from you about anything.

I'm going to assume you just forgot to sign in and put Eh in the "name" line by mistake, and didn't actually log out to go on the offensive, which would have been cowardly (and against the rules).http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/help#rules

excuse me...For not tailoring my opinions to suit you. A small fault of mine.If you read my post, you would have seen I liked the sound of Delilah.And look up above this thread and you'll see how much I liked the name Jason Andrew.

I'm not exactly the nicest poster myself. Catniss as Catpiss and mentioning Delilah's cutting of Samson's hair in the bible.

That's tame as far as I'm concerned. I like honesty. Katniss/Catpiss is so very obvious, anyway. If someone posted "WDYTO Latrine?" are they going to get all nice positive responses? 25 "nmsaa"s aren't very interesting, either.

I would suggest Commodus as her brother's nameAs a commode is named after the emperor.

Nobody needs to be monitoring anyone else's posts anyway, for optimism or niceness or anything else. It's not as if you were speaking negatively about a member. Also, it's helpful when people bring up negative associations, because they could make or break a name for someone.I'm pretty pessimistic myself. However, I'm also sensitive, so I usually can make acceptable posts. Usually. ;)

this reminds me...A friend's sister a couple years ago was going to name her son Cash. She had a baby shower, and rather than play games, she wanted us all to decorate onesies. So we did, and most of us, without having planned it beforehand, put little dollar signs or piggy banks on our onesies, and one gal painted "Always Carry Cash" on hers. Well, the mom-to-be, kind of a pouty person in general, threw a hissy fit.And a month later named her baby Daniel.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ALL DID HER A FAVOR!!!

Did that honestly not occur to her? That people would think of money?I'd still dress Daniel in the dollar-sign onesies.

I doubt she ever thought very hard about it...She's not one for thinking anything through.The onesies were pretty awful, I hope she didn't dress him in them. None of us at the party are much in the way of artistes; I tried to do one with frogs on it and my frogs looked like they'd gotten their genes scrambled in a toxic spill of some kind. lol

Did she not just say that she liked the pretty sound of Delilah?

Agreed, I almost forgot about that song. Really annoying :/

Overplayed to DEATH! I remember the summer it came out - I was on a trip with my sister, who loved the song (I thought it was okay). By the end of the week I was so sick of it.
