WDYT of Delilah?

I'm still struggling with girl names and am looking for any new ones I might have looked over to add to my list. What does everyone think about Delilah? I love the sound and look of it, but I'm wondering if it's too sweet and frilly. (FYI, our top contender of the moment is Keira but for some reason I've been unable to commit to it.)

I like Delilah, but I couldn't see myself using it.  It sounds hippy to me :)  I do really like Lilah though.  I much prefer Keira to Delilah and I can see Keira more for an adult.

I really like Delilah. As well as Dahlia. 

DH vetoed both though.

I love it. Delilah was my first choice for my second daughter but our families did not respond well as they did not like the negative biblical reference. That made me worry about the way society would receive her so I nixed the name...maybe it was crazy but it did.  I still think it's an adorable name though.

 Keira was another top pick of mine (but it didn't go well with our last name). Although I love both names I think Keira would age better from childhood to adulthood.

Not my style at all. I do love Lilah, but for Delilah, I always hear Rachel's line from 'Friends' run through my head when Ross suggests it for their baby :).

Not a fan, reminds me of a strip club, Delilah's Den.

I like it.  Although it makes me think of both the syndicated radio show host and that song about Delilah in NYC.

I think it's much better than Keira.

It has negative connotations because the Biblical Delilah. I cringe when I hear of parents who've used it.

I've read about this when looking up the name online but it doesn't bother me at all because I'm not religious. I'm really just worried about it being too cutesy for a teen/adult.

I like it, but not a big fan of the biblical reference. I prefer Dahlia.

I like it but I always start singing "hey there Delilah" in my head. So I don't think I could use it.

I like Keira more than Delilah, but I like Delilah too. I like that there are lots of potential nn's... Dela, Lilah, Lily.
