Baby girl Alkelda, I think it's lovely what are your thoughts

How about Isis if you're going for that terrorist vibe?

🤣🤣

Hideously clumsy and harsh.

Reminds me of Alka seltzer

You might like it OP.
In real life it will bomb.

Sorry but I hate it. Strangely makes me think of al-Qaeda?

Exactly the same here 😩

OK I promise I hear you!

Got carried away by the lovely Church and when I looked it up the Anglo Saxon Princess and Spring connection. I didn't see the 'strangled by Vikings' bit and the other negative connotations somehow went over my head 😬

Kelda would have been the short name which I do still like, and oddly I really like Annuciata but wont be using it 😂Alicia is a strong contender.

Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to reply, I'm glad I posted.

It’s really awkward to say.

Kelda sounds interesting, it could almost be a video game character.

It sounds a bit Northern European, Irish, German or Scandinavian.
Reminds me of Hilda which although common amongst Scottish granny's sounds a bit German to me.

Alkie for short? Sorry.
