She’s as Southern as Savannah, worn by actress Selma Blair and possibly related to the masculine – and saintly – name Anselm.
Of course, she’s also Norway’s answer to the Loch Ness monster. And a creepy, cross-dressing polygamist wife on HBO’s Big Love.
Mexican actress Salma Hayek wears a similar, but unrelated Arabic name.
Selma hasn’t charted in the US Top 1000 since 1956, but she regularly charted in the Top 200 during the late nineteenth century. Could she make a comeback today – yea or nay?
