Bible story: Delilah was Samson's mistress who cut his hair, thus removing his strength, in an act of betrayal [and he kills her]
Tom Jones song lyrics: As she deceived me, I watched and went out of my mind [and murdered her]
That's pretty much I know of Delilah - betrayal and deception, leading to untimely death. So no, I wouldn't have chosen it ...

Final chapter of Freakonomics
does the name define the child? The chapter discusses a child who should have been called Temperance but ended up with Temptation
Basically if you call a child " winker" will he be given to winking in later life? Temptation ( freakonomics) ends up in prison I think.
In our village 1950s we had a Banger Russell, whose wife dear daphne insisted rhymed with danger or ranger. she was ignored. And now we ask, was he always.....
Buy a copy and read it: it is MUCH better than mainstream AB.
Other chapters - why do drug dealers always live with their mum? - huge number of street working low paid gophers and little admin. Management structure like a pediment of a Gk temple, broad based triangle
compared to Police - few bobbies on beat and a huge stratified admin structure looking a bit like Cleopatra's Needle
One of the young nurses at my GP's surgery told me she was expecting a baby boy. I asked if they had chosen a name to which she replied yes, Ira.
How are you spelling that I asked? IRA she replied.

people jibed: this is Custard's last stand....
or even Banger/ baynjah - coo-tar in the French fashion, Bidon in French is called bye-dawn - as Bidon is a jerry can you *** into. Bidonville - a makeshift town made up of a lot of them

I must say Neriah's a new one on me, but I don't follow modern music. 100+ years ago, Keziah was quite common but seems to have vanished. And in old censuses you sometimes come across women called Keren-happuch, after one of the daughters of Job; I think that one's gone for good.
When considering potential forenames for a child, wise parents should always look at them in conjunction with the child's surname.
For example, Delilah Delahaye would seem too much of a mouthful to me!
Somewhat similarly, anyone with the surname Doe might be well advised to avoid choosing John, Jane, Patrick or Pauline as their child's given name.
