Elma

I came across this name for our DD due soon and it might be pregnancy hormones but I really like the name. What do you think?

It's nice, but does remind ne a little of Elmer the elephant. What matters though is if you like it, as they'll always be someone that doesn't like your choice of name.

What about Velma?

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It's your baby you you name her what you want. Plus I think it's a lovely name

I've only come across it with an old school friend who was originally from Bosnia. I like it.

Sounds like a not very nice boy's name-sorry.

I prefer Alma

Elephant.

I think of Elmer the elephant, sorry.

I would think 'boy' because of Elmer Fudd.
