Comments for IRMA:
Irma is also Spanish in usage. In this language it is sometimes confused with Inma (short form of Inmaculada). They are different names - while Inma (Inmaculada) is Latin, Irma is Germanic, and Inma is a short form of a name, not Irma.-- alberto 12/12/2004

Also a feminine name in Slovenia. [noted -ed]-- earthnut 7/2/2007
This name sounds horrible in English, but Europeans pronounce it in a bearable way (aside from the Brits, of course, ha ha). It's a bit of a grandmother name, but it's not as bad as Elma and Alma for some reason, despite the two having a softer sound. Certainly not a name I'd use for my daughter, but bearable if pronounced the non-English way.-- slight night shiver 6/5/2008

Irma Grese was a Nazi and a concentration camp guard. She was probably one of the most well-known female Nazis. She was quite cruel to inmates, and has thus kind of ruined the name for me.-- bananarama 7/26/2009
The German pronunciation is EER-mah. [noted -ed]-- mafiosa 8/7/2009
This isn't right. In German we pronounce it 'ürmah', the 'i' has nearly no sound.-- Anonymous User 8/29/2009
I know a young woman whose given name is Irmela, a diminutive of Irma. Her German father pronounces it IR-me-la, and her English mother (and all her friends) say ER-me-la.-- Anneza 3/2/2010
Actually it is pronounced IRR-mah (it might sound almost like Ür-mah). This my grandma's name. We live in Germany.-- Swiff 6/9/2010
Actually, this is my grandfather's name, though he pronounces it EAR-ma. I am not sure where this comes from. Still, this name in English sounds like it belongs to an old woman.-- Anonymous User 7/24/2010
This is what my friend calls me. It sounds like my real name, Emma.-- writer371 3/4/2011
