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 / Beatrix
Imelda Bryony
Imelda Caroline
Imelda Constance
Imelda Eugenie
Imelda Eulalie
Imelda Frances
Imelda Guinevere
Imelda Hyacinth
Imelda Ingrid -- Normally repetition of sounds is a no-no for me. But I'm loving it here.
Imelda Josephine
Imelda Juniper
Imelda Lucy
Imelda Marjorie
Imelda Rosamund
Imelda Saffron
Imelda Sibyl
Imelda Sophie
Imelda Winifred
Imelda Xanthe

I would suggest some of my own but you've cornered the market. Imelda Cleo, Imelda Consuelo, Imelda Blythe, Imelda Sonnet? :0)
