Help[Opinions] Re: Delilah
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi Perrine !!!
Actually my first thoughts about Delilah are linked with two songs: 'Delilah' by Tom Jones and 'Hey! There Delilah' by Plain White T'S.
Then I associate Delilah' with the sound of 'delight, delightful' or with the sound of Diletta.
I obviously know the Biblical figure but these links come before It and are more immediate.
This because the Biblical figure is not Delilah' here but Dalila (DA-lee-la). Being a quite rare name it is only tied with the Bible in my mind.
Dalila is not a bad name though. It is old-fashionable and a bit frilly but it could have a comeback. It has a liquid sound and a quite refined vibe.
The meaning? Uhm... it means "delicate", it's not so horrible. About the Biblical figure: if the Puritans themself used it (and this is quite comical) so why we that are in a more open and free world would have any problem?
