Well, it really depends on a few things. First, if you chose the name for it's Biblical reference, I'd stick with the Biblical spelling Delilah. If you plan on using the shortened form Lila as a nn and don't mind if it's not the Biblical spelling, then I might prefer it without the H (Delila or possibly even Dalila). Incidentally, Dalila is the Swahili or Tanzanian spelling of the name, so it's actually not an "alternate" spelling exactly (many people don't like made-up spellings, myself included, so just thought I'd point out that this is not tryndee by any means ;). There is also a very similar Hebrew name, Dalia, so it almost looks like a combination of two Hebrew names -- Delilah and Dalia. I don't care for either of the Di- spellings, however ... they remind me of dill pickles! ;) Just some info that I thought might help! :)
