I was going to be named after my father, Wilburn James but I was a girl so I got named Wilda. It is a unique name, there are not very many with this name around.

You are unique! I have never known a Wilda, but my late mother's name was Wilma. She was named after her mother, who was Wilhelmina (very Dutch). Grandmother went by Billie, which I always thought odd. My mother never liked her name either. The two of them named me Penelope, but when I am called that, I know it is someone who doesn't know me at all. All my friends and family know me as Penny. Grandmother said "you can't call a grown woman Penny", but she did until the day she died!
No one ever uses my middle name, Gwynne.
