Delilah (longer) middle name

My dh (dear husband) and I are stuck on the name Delilah.
Yes, we are aware of all the connections with the name.

We are struggling to pick a middle name. Originally, we were set on a 1 syllable middle. We had a list of 50 monosyllabic names and just can't narrow it.

Today, we came across some longer names.

Delilah Josephine
Delilah Melody

Do either of these have nice flow?
Any suggestions on other longer names?
We're trying not to have tunnel vision.

** Our last name starts with "S" so not a fan of middle names that end with s (ex Tess).

Thanks!

    They seem like a mouthful, IMO.  Of the two Josephine would be best.  

    Yell out the full names a few times over the next few days, and see how that sounds - yelling out full name:

    "Delilah Josephine if I have to tell you to come here one more time........"

    Delilah Melody, Im not asking again, if you don't turn off that video game in 10 seconds......"

    "Delilah Josephine,  you are awesome!"

    "Delilah Melody, you rock!"

    I like Josephine and don’t think it’s too long. Melody is nice but all the L sounds make it feel sing songy

    How long is your last name? If you have more than 2 syllables in your last name I’d probably go short on the middle name. Otherwise it will take her 10 years to fill in any official paperwork. And those bubble things for standardized tests? Omg...
