I love Delilah, which I imagine may increase in popularity at least a bit due to "Hey There, Delilah". My fiance adamantly refused to consider it.

It's still the name of a really wicked biblical woman, so I don't see its popularity increasing too much.

i love that song, and thus, the name. but one of the problems for me with that name is that it means "weak" or "frail." :/

The Spanish is "zorra", actually. And it's not pretty. (A big insult, at least in peninsular Spanish.) Zora would be safe, though!

ya i know but it would still be pronounced the same way, with or without an extra "R". my famiy is spanish so when i hear "Zor(r)a" i think the mask of zorro or a slutty woman { eres una zorra!) On a positive note, i thought Pandora was always cool :P

Actually, it's pronounced differently (the "r" is rolled in zorra), at least in Spanish! But yes, I get the same connotation as you do! :-)

Pandora is a cool name, I agree!

I think Petra is cute! Except it kind of sounds like "pet rock", haha, which is fitting considering Peter means rock and all

I think the following are very useable:

Delilah
Giselle
Celeste
Greta
Petra
Cedric
Jonas
Tobias

Most of the rest aren't so awful, either. Almost all are real names. For a guilty pleasure list, that's not so bad.
