Lilah LeFae? WDYT?

We really like the name Lilah, our last name is LeFae, Lilah LeFae? What do you think? Or does Delilah sound better? We also like Natalia LeFae but my friend just named her baby Natalia. We like middle eastern names, so if you don't think Lilah sounds any good with our last name feel free to suggest something. Zefira and Azhara were possibilities.

I love the name Lilah.
Hi,
I think you posted about some other names a while back, right? I definitely like Lilah, but with your last name, it is too L heavy, and ends up sounding like a tounge twister.
How about...(Arabic name suggestions)...
Yasmine
Jamila (beautiful)
Karima (generous)
Shakira (thankful)
Aaliyya (exalted is how it is interpreted as a name, I think. In Arabic, it comes from the root word for "high," like a tall building).
Basimah (from word for smile)
Amira (princess)
Zahra (flower)
Reem/Reema (gazelle)
Kalila (one who is loved)
Kamila
Zaina (beautiful)
Zakiyah (in Arabic, pronounced as Thakkiyah, sort of like "th" as in "the" but with a bit more of a d sound (there are 4 or 5 "th" sounds in Arabic, so it's hard to explain). The Zakiyah pronunciation is more common in non-Arabic speaking places, I think. Thakkiyah comes from the root word for smart or intelligent)
Lilah LeFae

I love Lilah, but w/ your ln IMO it's too sing-songy/too "L" heavy, sorry : (
