It is For the same reason your dad didn't name your Sisters Jezebel.. Names are Symbolic and Spiritual. The Name you bare could have deep impact in you. 158 Likes 2 Shares |

mariodko190:In Africa, it has to do with ignorance really. There are plenty of females with "Delilah" for a name elsewhere who share nothing in common with the biblical dame of the same name. 47 Likes 2 Shares |

I know a pretty Delilah. The last I heard of her she slept with her best friend's husband on their wedding night birthing triplets nine months later.. That said girls with other names have done worse. A neighbour called Ruth killed her husband with acid. Yet the biblical Ruth was a virtuous woman. Delilah means delicate in both Hebrew and Arabic. Once a not very popular name because of the biblical character Delilah many parents now look pass the biblical stigma. In the US it has griown to become one of the top names starting with D. Off record Anini wasn't named Barnabas yet the difference between him and a rat is the position of the tail.. Upbringing and environment affect people more than the names the bear. Many people called Jesus in Southern America dont know the name of the first book of the Bible.. 156 Likes 16 Shares |

billynoni:"Judas", "Jude", "Juda" are, I believe, variants of the name "Judah" which means "praised" or "praised one". 40 Likes 2 Shares |

Kobojunkie: Psalms 105:37 37 . .and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Hebrews 12:12 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; how funny will it sound if you replace the word FEEBLE in these verses with the word DELICATE . Feeble simply means weak. lacking strength. 11 Likes 1 Share |
