WHY the name Delilah? - CHARACTER ASSESSMENT

The girl's name Delilah \meaning of Delilah is "languishing, lovelorn, seductive". Biblical: the woman who beguiled Samson into revealing the secret of his superhuman strength. She cut off his hair therefore he lost all his strength.

This meaning is significant to the reason as to why Delilah is named her name.
She is seeking attention, wants to be loved, seduces the men (symbolised with the colour red, which symbolises love too, and DANGER)
The biblical story, relates to our character, our character abuses the men's love and breaks the strength it once had, Delilah CUTS the strings.



The popularity of the name Delilah has grown this means people today are familiar with this name, as it is not an outdated name it wouldn't suggest a historic storyline or olden time film, it suggests a modern film, and we assume that people today may be more familiar with the meaning too, giving a backstory to the name automatically relating to our film character.
