Delilah as a mn!

Heidisean · June 2010

We are pretty sure dd #2 will be Evangeline (Evie) but we are struggling with a mn.

Evangeline Delilah....wdyt?

I love the song too! Hey there Delilah!

I like it as a mn, but it is pretty long with the first name... especially because if someone is saying their middle name outloud, they are probably using their formal first name and not their nickname. If your last name is short, it wouldn't be so bad.

I like Delilah as a mn but think it's a bit of a mouthful with Evangeline.

Our last name is very short!

I like it but it is long.

I think they sound nice together, especially with a short last name.

Love Evangeline ... Jane Evangeline (and nn Evie!) was our top choice if Charlie had been a girl. But I don't like with Delilah. Think you should do one for one DD and give the other to another DD, if you have one.

I'd pick a one syllable middle or something with great meaning to you for each name, imho. ;-)

Love Delilah, but not with Evangeline.

I really like it! Good change from overused mns like Grace and Lynn.

I wouldn't use it, I always think of the Biblical character. Which to me is even more interesting when matched with Evangeline which means "bearer of good news" and is similar to the word Evangelist. I love Evangeline though. What about something shorter with a stronger sound for a mn?
