Would love some thoughts on this name...

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?

The cream is Emla.

Elma does make me think of Elmer Fudd I'm afraid.

I used to work with a lovely lady called Elma.
She was kind and gentle so it's a yes from me!

My first thought was Elmo. If it's handwritten people could easily mistake it. Elva though, love that. Never heard of it before but adding it to my own list!

The elephant.

An elver is a young eel, Elva lovers.

I like Elma. Velma is Scooby Doo. Also Selma, Simpsons.

I know a lovely Velma, so I second this.

Thanks everyone for the comments, seems pretty consistent that we should definitely not use Elma as a name!

Yeah I think Fudd or Elephant. I'd worry about bullying if your child ever had any weight issues.

I grew up with one. Her christened name was Eleanor Mary. They shortened it to Elma. I always assumed it was a normal name but thinking about it now, I've only known the one.
