It looks like I'm going into yet another direction with names. :-/ First Hebrew, then Saints, then Swedish. LOL

Anyway, Selma has suddenly caught my eye. I really love it. It has an older feeling, but has never been too popular.

No, I don't like it at all. It reminds me of Selma from the Simpsons. And, I just don't like it.

Well my first thought is Selma Blair and Salma Hayek, then Aunt Selma on the Simpsons.

I don't really care for the sound though. I'd rather see you with a son named Anselm. Or perhaps a daughter named Sela : )

I think of Selma Blair and Aunt Selma, too. I want to like it but I don't care for the sound either.

I hadn't thought of Sela.

That is really lovely. Thanks.

I picture a fat, capable American woman who is perpetually holding a rolling-pin ... and I don't know why! Lol. It could grow on me all the same ... It's prettier than similar names Irma, Velma, Thelma.

I have that view with names, too...but that is hilarious.

Selma is very hip. I think there's something a little too austere in the name...a little stuffy, if you know what I mean. In terms of -lma names, (and Swedish ones, too), I prefer Alma.

Selma has been a favourite of mine for a long time, too. It has some of that old-fashioned retro-appeal, but it's also kind of cool and refreshing. And very beautiful and strong, too, IMO.

More and more girls here in Sweden are named Selma, but for me it'a a dog name.
