ElizaEliza is pretty, approachable, old fashioned and makes me think of Jane Austen.Delilah is insubstantial and has a la-di-da empty headedness to it. The traitor association isn't endearing either.

I like the sound of Eliza more. It's very strong.Delilah is pretty, but the De- at the beginning feels like a suffix. I know it isn't, but I simply prefer Lila.

I like Eliza as a nickname for Elizabeth and it gives me Hamilton vibes, but I think I'm going with Delilah because it sounds beautiful

The sounds of Delilah don't please me. What could it shorten to - Dilly? Duh? So it would have to be Eliza, though I far prefer it as a nn for Elizabeth and if it were me, I'd use the full form as a given name and let it be anything from Eliza to Betty, depending on current fashion and personal preference.

Delilah because Eliza just doesn’t interest me.

Definitely Delilah. Eliza just looks like half a name to me. I know it's a complete name, but I can't help only ever seeing it as half of Elizabeth mispronounced.

I like Delilah more in principle but can't ignore the unfortunate biblical connections. I don't really care for Eliza though.. just Liza is more my speed.

I like both, but I like Eliza just a bit more.

I love both, but as Delilah is currently seeing a rather trendy increase, Eliza is the strong & steady choice - a classic that won't seem dated in 40 years.

Eliza! Delilah is so delicate it’s annoying.

They both have a quaint southern-ness that I don't particularly like, but Eliza is more palatable.

Delilah. Eliza is a diminutive and kinda tired in comparison.
