Help[Opinions] Thelma
Thelma has languished on the periphery of my name thoughts for years, but it's finally stolen the spotlight, and I'm really charmed by it. I'm a sucker for "-elm" in names (e.g. Anselm, Zelma, Elmo), and for me, Thelma evokes both a gum-smacking side-heroine in classic MGM films (perhaps inspired by Thelma Ritter) and a benevolent librarian/bibliophile, which amplifies its appeal. Am I alone in my admiration for this "hopelessly dated" name?
Here, of course, are some combos:
Thelma Adelaide
Thelma Adeline
Thelma Adrienne
Thelma Angeline
Thelma Audrey
Thelma Aurélie
Thelma Beatrice
Thelma Caroline
Thelma Cecile
Thelma Celine
Thelma Charlotte
Thelma Chloe
Thelma Claire
Thelma Cleo
Thelma Daisy
Thelma Daphne
Thelma Edith
Thelma Enid
Thelma Eugenie
Thelma Eulalie
Thelma Eve
Thelma Eveline
Thelma Fern
Thelma Frances
Thelma Harriet
Thelma Hazel
Thelma Inez
Thelma Ingrid
Thelma Iris
Thelma Ivy
Thelma Josephine
Thelma Juliet / Juliette
Thelma Natalie
Thelma Ottilie
Thelma Ottoline
Thelma Peony
Thelma Rosalie
Thelma Rosalind
Thelma Rosaline
Thelma Roxane
Thelma Ruby
Thelma Sophie
Thelma Violet
Thelma Vivienne
Thelma Winifred
Thelma Zoe

Reminds me of Mama from "Mama's Family".
Also, years ago, my husband worked with a woman whose name was Lucy. That is, Lucy was her middle name and what she went by. She hated her first name so much that she refused to use it and also refused to divulge to my husband what it was. Until finally, somehow, he found out. Yes, you guessed it. It was Thelma. So once he found out, he walked into work one day and said to her, "Hi, Thelma!" She looked at him and said, "Get the hell out."
Anyway, no love for Thelma here. I don't blame Lucy one bit.
