What do y'all think of the name Selma?

I quite like it. I automatically think of Selma Hayek, who I think is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. It'd be a good choice.

I love it..I think Selma Blair. But I love the name..its unique imo.

This is who I think of when I hear the name. So I don't like it much. But that aside, I think it's a nice-sounding name.

Haha.
I was just about to say

Patty and Selma.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Ditto!

I personally don't like the name!

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Hahahah. That's the first thing that always comes to my mind, too.

Makes me want to follow it up with "and Louise" even though that's Thelma.

It's a good name. Not my favorite, and not my style, but, you know, not a bad name.

It wouldn't be a top pick for me. It does remind me of Thelma and Louise as well and from the Simpsons. That is just my personal preference.

I think the previously mentioned actress's name is actually Salma Hayek, although I might be wrong. Myself being from Alabama, that colors my perception, but when I see Selma, I first think of Selma, Alabama, and the Civil Rights Movement marches between there and Montgomery.

I'm from AL, too. That was my first thought, Selma, AL.

Me three. I'm in Mobile. Selma is just a city name to me.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

You're right, her name is actually Salma.

Eww. :-)

my sister had a gradeschool friend with that name. but she was Muslim and so I always figured it was a more ethnic name that would sound funny on a white person. at least to me.

Selma/Salma is really popular Arabic name, not just for Muslims. Arabs can be of any (or no) religion. They can also be blonde and blue-eyed or light-skinned. The name is used by everyone!

[qalanjo.livejournal.com]

I love it!

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

I live in Alabama, and there is a town not too far away from mine named Selma. It is a definite no for me.

it makes me think of salmonella, because i always say it selma-nella (not sure if thats the right pronunciation. Now that I'm in college a lot of things I thought were right are being revealed as wrong)

[vase-of-acid.livejournal.com]

I think of Alabama.
