Help[Opinions] Re: Imelda
in reply to a message by Janan
No idea what the reference to Marcos is, but looking at replies, it has something to do with shoes. You can take this as I do not think of shoes when hearing the name Imelda.
I... kinda like Imelda. It's too heavy for me to personally consider it as a baby name (assuming this is what your combo is for) but it has a charm. It's quite a witchy name and I just happen to enjoy names that evoke witches and magic and Imelda in particular evokes nature magic for some reason. She's a green mage with a barn owl familiar.

The reference is to Imelda Marcos, who up till 1986 was the wife of Ferdinand Marcos, president/dictator of the Philippines. His government was extremely corrupt and he totally plundered the economy. They lived VERY luxuriously and gaudily, and Imelda's passion was shoes and she had thousands of them, and tons of jewelry too. All this while most of the country's citizens were just managing to survive.
