Thelma
Feminine given name
Thelma is a feminine given name, now somewhat dated, that peaked in popularity in the early twentieth century.
It gained currency from the 1890 novel *Thelma* by Marie Corelli.
The phrase *Thelma and Louise* references the 1991 film about two women on a fateful road trip, sometimes invoked for any pair of women embarking on adventure or rebellion together.
