It's my first name. When my sister and I were born, my dad didn't want to give us cutesy sound-alike names that some twins get, so my sister--she was born first--got the traditional first daughter family name from my mom's family--Kathleen--and I got Gilda. Gilda is one of my Dad's favorite movies, and he wanted a name that was uncommon without being too strange. Gilda hasn't been in the top 1000 girl's names in decades, but was nicely feminine, and that it came from a movie he loved was a big bonus. I love the name.
