As someone of Filipino descent, I would definitely not use
Imelda. Definitely too reminiscent of a particular lady who had many shoes and considering the political situation with that family right now in the Philippines, it's honestly not a good idea.
I'd even prefer
Irmhild or
Irmina if I wanted a similar sound and meaning to
Imelda. Otherwise,
Imogen /
Imogene and
Immaculada (and its cognates) would be lovely names to get to Immie / Immy.
