I rather like it: is it a form of Kilda, or just a coincidence? Kelda Morag? Kelda Louise - Louise seems to work as a mn with just about everything. Kelda Joy. Kelda Ruth Anita.

There were books I read as a child about a character called Katie Morag by Mairi Hedderwick.

Kelda has a similar meaning to Kilda so I suspect Kelda is a form of Kelda.

In Norse Sunt Kelda means Sweet Well Water and Sunt Kelda appears as the name of St Kilda. Kelda now is given as possibly meaning a spring.

Ooh, Kelda. That’s an interesting name that I’ve never heard of. I don’t know if I’d use it irl. But, I can really appreciate its unique qualities. Out of your combos, I really like Kelda Heather. If I could make a combination, I’d make Kelda Lenore.

My strongest association — St. Kilda, an archipelago, then kelpie, windy weather, fairytales, deep water...

Kelda Imogen & Kelda Elowen - I like how Imogen and Elowen compliment Kelda: all these names share same vibe, imo.
Kelda Blanche - like how Blanche softens "square" Kelda.

It's hard to make a combo for some reason. The first thing that comes to mind is something like -
Kelda Iona - unfortunately it sounds like a tourist route, sights you want to visit.

So, maybe
Kelda Gabrielle
Kelda Eiril
Kelda Morven
Kelda Nimue
Kelda Vivian
