I have an ancestor named Zilda. I believe she would be a great great (maybe a third great?) grandmother. Anywho.. her husband's name was
Abraham and they called one another
Ham and Zildy.
Because I'm familiar with Zilda as a name, I think I prefer it to
Zelda, but not by much. Also, the idea of Zeldy as a sister to
Tillie is wonderful. I don't think that her peers would be thinking about the Legend of
Zelda as much as people who remember just plain old Nintendo would. ;-)
