Thoughts?

I'm not at all religious, so I didn't even realize Delilah had any sort of biblical connotation, let alone such a negative one that you all know about it..... that's definitely an interesting thought, thanks. <3

Ariel- I love this name!<3 I do prefer Arielle, but Ariel is beautiful also. [=

Delilah- Another name that I love! One of my favorite songs is "Hey There Delilah" and it reminds me of that. ;] On the downside, there is always the story of Delilah and Samson, and Delilah from the bible is not exactly a great namesake, lol.

Heather- Ehh. I'm really not a fan. I have an aunt named Heather, and it just reminds me of an adult woman. It seems outdated to me, not a horrible choice though.

Mallory- I've never run into a Mallory before, I really think that's a gorgeous name though. If you're not planning on using it any time soon, I think I might throw that into the running for my girl's name. [= 

Lysander- Not really my style. =/ 

Mathias- I used to know a little Mathias, and he was a sweetheart, so I'm a little biased, but I do really like this name. =] 

Ariel - I love it!  I want to prefer Arielle, since it's the feminine spelling, but Ariel just looks sweeter.  I do like Arianne/Ariana more, though!  Either way, Ari is a cute nn, and Elle/Ella is sweet, as well.

Delilah - the religious connotations make it unusable to me, but I do like the sound.  I've come to prefer Elila ("God of the feminine") and Alila ("she who cries"), personally.

Heather - way too dated for me, but I did appreciate it for a short time after reading a book with an adorable Heather in it.  :)

Mallory - I used to love this!  Like Mallory, but less dated.  I would love to meet one, I really love it.

Lysander - didn't Shakespeare use this?  I really like it, but I do prefer Leander personally.

Mathias - I like it, but I prefer the classic Matthew.

Ariel - As in The Little Mermaid! I love it! :) All me and my sisters loved this film when it came out, sadly at 32, 30, 30, & 26 we still do. It's also my step daughters (12) favourite kid film, so I just love the name because of that. 

Delilah- Pretty! I think Lilah makes a lovely nickname. 

Heather- It's dated, but I do like the name because I grew up in Scotland and during the right season you'd see wild Heather flowers at my dad's house and the country side. Another sentimental name to me. 

Mallory- It's cute. I'd say dated. I knew of a few growing up, I still like it though.

Lysander- Very Greek and A Midsummer Night's Dream-ish. I'm not a fan. I do relate it pretty much only to the Shakespeare play.

Mathias- I prefer Elias or Matthew more. It's nice, just not my taste. 

Ariel - Not Arielle, and pronounced Air-ee-ul, not ah-ree-el: I love it, though I do like the ah-ree-el pronunciation better

Delilah--It's a beautiful name but the association with the biblical Delilah ruins it for me.

Heather--It's fine. Very 70s/80s.

Mallory--I really like the name quite a bit, but the meaning (ill-omened) ruins it for me. I'm definitely big on meanings though and I know a lot of people aren't. I'd just hate for my kid to be disappointed if they look up their name meaning and find out it's something negative.

 Lysander--I hate to say it, but it just makes me think of Lysol.

Mathias--I like it!
