I love Delilah Grace. Great name, and unique without being trendy or weird. I also think it might be hard to find a name that doesn't clash with Jayden. But I think Delilah works nicely. Plus, there are some great nickname possibilities -- Delia, Lilah, Lily, etc.
Delilah and Grace (as a middle name) are both really trendy right now, so I would avoid them. However, (and I'm not being snarky, I promise) since you named your son Jayden, I'm guessing you don't mind if a name is popular, just if it's like... in the top five? If so, Delilah Grace would probably be fine.
Unless you named him like ten years ago, it definitely wasn't before the trend. :-\ But yeah, it's easy to use a name and not be aware of its insane popularity... I've heard so many stories like this, where someone named their daughter, say... Ava, and only a couple years later realized how popular it was. I've heard that a lot with Jennifer in the 80s, too. It's hard to tell unless you follow the popularity of names closely.
Yeah, my parents named me Ashley in 1987 because they had never heard it and wanted me to have a very unique name. Haha... I was one of six or seven Ashleys in my grade.
Delilah is lovely, and although the Biblical association is a rather negative one, that doesn't seem to discourage people, on the whole. I'm okay with that, because the name is just so beautiful. Grace, you should know, is sort of the new Ann, everyone and her sister's middle name, so you might want to pick something else. (Btw, three cheers for your philosophy. Something uncommon, but not crazy = perfect).
I like Grace. It is my soon to be daughter's middle name. Though I like it as a name just in general.
And it is just a middle name, so most people won't even know it, so whether it is "overused" or not doesn't really matter, as long as you like it, and it flows nicely.
The biblical Delilah was not really a positive figure... But, if that doesn't bother you, Delilah Grace has an ok flow. Grace is really really popular as a middle name, and Delilah is popular too, maybe just less popular than Isabella, Emma, Makayla and Mckenzie. It is at 191 on the SS list.
