What do you think of Wilma and Ilma? Which one would you rather use? I think they're kind of cute, they remind me of names like Elsa and Ella. Cute or too old-fashioned? Would you use them or like to see them used?

I hate them both. Sorry, but they sound like dumpy old lady names, not cute at ALL. Elsa and Ella are worlds better.

Elsa's ok, but Ella's a wee bit tacky. Wilma's at least a step up from that.

Sorry, but I've gotta disagree. Wilma, IMO, is not a step up from Ella-and this is coming from someone who can't stand Ella. Wilma is a red-headed cavewoman.

LOL!

I actually know a Wilma "Billie," so your comment about red-headed cavewoman is hilarious! *Tries to imagine Billie as a cavewoman*

I've been thinking a lot about Wilma lately! I like it.

I'm not too fond of Ilma, though -- it sounds incomplete to me.

Wilma's ok. Not liking Ilma at all. I've known 2 Wilmas. It's nms, but ok on other people's children. Have to admit it kinda makes me think of the Flinstones, but it's a nice change from Lily, Emma, Sophia, Emily, Madison, Addison, Jaden, Rachel, Sarah, Caitlin, Ava, Chloe, Isabel, Brooklyn, Avery, Julia, Olivia, Claire, Ella, etc. Compared to those, I'd rather see Wilma any day than a repeat of that bunch. Not sold on Ilma though. Poor kid might get teased about being a sick mother (ill ma)... or making her mother sick... which would be rather sad esp. if her mum had lots of morning sickness.

Wilma is dated and ugly to me. But I quite like Ilma:-) I'd love to meet a little Ilma.
