You have fabulous choice! I love them all except Zadie. I found it incredibly difficult to pick, so rather than choosing my favourite name overall (this was too hard!) I went with what I thought goes best with Oliver in terms of style- Daphne.

I voted for Claudia but Daphne is a close 2nd! Both are way ahead of the others, imo.

When i saw 'delilah', i was thrilled. love that name!

i'm looking for boy names like your girl's names!!
i even considered oliver but it was my cat's name.
love, love delilah. i think claudia is not as unique as what you're wanting but i know the more common names have a big following.
you can't go wrong with your list! :)

I voted for Daphne with Claudia a very close 2nd.


For Delilah, I can't get past Samson and Delilah.

  • Delilah - love it!
  • Ivy - love this as well, but not with Oliver (for the same reasons a pp mentioned)
  • Daphne - lovely. Got my vote. ;)
  • Zadie - perhaps as a nn for Zaira, but not alone.
  • Claudia - like it, but like the others more.
  • Roxanne - don't dislike it, but not my favorite here.

Yes, Delilah is feeling more and more right. I'm at least 75% settled on it. It was almost spoiled for me when I ran into a mother that was spelling her daughter's name DeLiLah...three capitals...ugh. I don't like the name Ivy as much, but it sure sounds good with Olly. Olly and Ivy. So those are the front runners. It was interesting to find out NO ONE likes the name Zadie, it's the name of one of my favorite authors and I have always found it cool. I like Lorelai too, but my husband isn't having it.

If we hadn't gone with Oliver we would have done Finn or Liam or Cormac. Cormac is so cool b/c it's a real name (kind of obscure Scots) but no one has it. And we'd have called him Mac.

My respect for a name always goes up when I find out it has special meaning for the parents, and favorite author is special in my book.


I think Zadie is a Jewish (Yiddish?) pet name for grandfather.

That was the first thing that went through my mind! It sounds pretty and all, but I wouldn't do it.
