Gilda

How do you feel about the name Gilda? A sudden adoration for it has come over me. (Honestly, I'm not sure why I never thought about it before. It's a bit dated and quite uncommon, snappy-sounding, and I think Gilda Radner was the tops. Plus, Gilda Rae sounds sharp to me.)And if you have any suggestions for really smart-sounding combos Gilda might fit in, I'd appreciate them. I've been more in the mood for short and snappy than long and elegant as of late; Gilda Rae and Gilda Janine are the only two I've thought of just now.Array (Gilda, Gilda, Gilda--I'm in raptures thinking it)

Gilda is very cute, and I really like the sound of Gilda Rae : )

Gilda could definitely grow on me. Gilda Radner was awesome, so she is the main association I have with the name, and a good one. :) Gilda Rae is very sweet.

Honestly, it sounds old and ugly to me like Hulda, Hild, Gert, etc. It's just not something I like. Gilda Rae is the best combo tho.~ Lisa ~Image hosting by TinyPicSome people dream of success ... others wake up and work hard for it.

I would be pronuncing Gilda with a hard G actually, so that the first syllable was more like that of Gilbert than Jillian. I really like Gilda Lenore--anything related to Poe is a thumbs-up in my book. :D I also like Gilda Blythe and Gilda Sarai a lot. Thank you, Bex!Array

I like it. It makes me think of the lovely Rita Hayworth film. Gilda Rae is a gorgeous combo.

It's the -ld- sound...right?Hmm. I think I'm too old. The ld sound is okay to my ears on boys (and now I'm on the spot I can't think of an example), but not ready for reuse on girls?Gilda sound like Gilded too, which too me is a bit negative.On the other hand, I like it rather better than -say- Fraser, and if I met a Gilda IRL, I'd probably be pleased.Gilda Jean / Jeanne is the only thing coming into my head. sa

I think it's actually the gil- sound, here. :) I could call her Gilly, which is very appealing. But on the other hand, I do love Hildegarde and Hildy, so it might be the -ld-. I really like Gilda Jean. Jean's my sister's name and what I call her, so it'd be nice to use it.Array

Gilda is sweet. I've liked it ever since I read "A Wayside Tavern" by Norah Lofts, in which it's the name of a Roman-era British woman. Gilda Rae is nice.
