I adore the name
Imelda. I met one in college and was enchanted with it (the name). Then
Imelda Marcos hit the headlines. It was the first time I consciously decided to not let one person ruin a name.
Adolf, yes. That one is permanently retired. But
Imelda is still very usable to me. I love the heaviness of it and the fact that it begins with an "i." Names based on "Hilda-/-hilda/-hild" are always fun. From your wonderful list I'm especially loving:
Imelda Beatrice /
BeatrixImelda BryonyImelda CarolineImelda ConstanceImelda EugenieImelda EulalieImelda FrancesImelda GuinevereImelda HyacinthImelda Ingrid -- Normally repetition of sounds is a no-no for me. But I'm loving it here.
Imelda JosephineImelda JuniperImelda LucyImelda MarjorieImelda RosamundImelda SaffronImelda SibylImelda SophieImelda WinifredImelda Xanthe
I would suggest some of my own but you've cornered the market.
Imelda Cleo,
Imelda Consuelo,
Imelda Blythe,
Imelda Sonnet? :0)
