Wilma
I've come to love it. What do you think of the name Wilma? What middle names go with Wilma? So far I haven't found many combinations that I like, except for Wilma Frances.

It’s my sister in laws name and she is too young for it. Wilma and Wanda are awful sounding and awfully dated.

I adore Wilma. Spelled Vilma (same pronunciation in Danish), it’s actually reasonably popular here.

I don't love it but it's fine. Soft and vintage, like a cross between Emma and Willa. I wouldn't be surprised if it became more popular like Willa / Wilhelmina but I don't expect it to become as common in the UK and US as it is in Sweden.Combos:Wilma Adelaide

It's one of those very BtN-y names. I don't care for it, I don't like Willa either.

I'm afraid I can't see anything appealing about it. It feels heavy and clunky and morose. Willa is better, but it's not a favorite by any means.

I tend to love the older names. I have not been able to warm up to this one yet, though. It still feels really frumpy to me.

I'm really not a fan of the -lm- sound. Wilma, Selma, Alma... they all sound like something you would call your grandmother. Not her actual first name, but like a child who can't pronounce "grandma" so it comes out as "Wilma" so that's what she ends up being called.The only combo that's coming to mind right now is Wilma Jeanne.

I like it. It's one of those "so ugly it's cute" names, like Hilda, Emma and Abigail.However I prefer Ilma, it is a bit more elegant.Wilma Frances is nice, but it sounds very very old.Wilma Josephine
