AJ: I love the Delilah song, but it is ALWAYS on the airwaves, and I fear that I will soon tire of it. So annoying how that happens. Actually, I had another daughter 5 months ago and Lilah was high on our list. I wouldn't be too thrilled right now if I had chosen that name and then this song came out. Dodged a bullet there. (Another reason why Delilah didn't appeal to me is that Diddy/P.Diddy/Puffy/Puff Daddy also named one of his twin girls D'Lila weeks before my own due date. That spelling made the whole name less attractive to us.)
Anyway, I wonder how songs do affect names? Did Eileen take off after Dexys Midnight Runners released "Come on Eileen"... did Cecilia surge after Simon and Garfunkel released the song of the same name? I bet "Nikki" took a tumble after Prince released "Darling Nikki"... yuck.
