Wilhelmina Clary Hilda
Wilhelmina Ivy Hilda
Wilhelmina Joy Hilda
Wilhelmina Kay Hilda
Wilhelmina Plum Hilda
Wilhelmina Rose Hilda
Wilhelmina Sue Hilda

---

3) Like them all but Winifred is my fave of the three with Wilhelmina second

5) Brother ideas...

---

Alastair
Balthazar
Bartholomew (must second this)
Cassander
Clarence
Diederick
Frederick
Geoffrey
Hamish
Montague

1) I LOVE Wilhelmina. I think it's beautiful.

---

2) Wilhelmina Frances Hilda, Wilhelmina Louise Hilda?

---

3) Yes, I like it better than both, though Winifred is a close second.

---

4) I like Willa or Bill/Billie best.

---

5) Wilhelmina and....

Ambrose
Bernard
Frederick
Leonard
Oswald
Roland
Sebastian
Theodore

I love Wilhelmina nn Billie! I also love the nickname Mina but like Billie better.

---

I actually like it more than either Daphne or Winifred. The nicknames are a bit more spunky yet it's a hell of a full name. I can just imagine your sporty surfy music playing little Billie!

---

Wilhelmina Edith Hilda
Wilhelmina Blythe Hilda
Wilhelmina Eve Hilda
Wilhelmina Eleanor Hilda
Wilhelmina Verity Hilda

---

Any of your top boys names would work brilliantly with Wilhelmina

1. I really like it.

---

2. I think Wilhelmina and Hilda are too close in letters to work as a combo, but if I had to, maybe Wilhelmina June Hilda or Wilhelmina Hilda Rosette.

---

3. Daphne is one of my all-time favourite names so it's not fair to compare it to Wilhelmina, but Wilhelmina is definitely in my top 50 girls' names.

---

4. My imaginative nickname for it is Whimsy. Wilhelmina nn Whimsy. I also really like Minnie.

---

5. Something airy and poignant, like Pascal or Sylvain.

1) We seem to have very different naming tastes. Wilhelmina is one of my least favorite names.

---

2) Wilhelmina Evangeline Hilda, Wilhelmina Hilda Rosalie

---

3) Daphne is one of my favorite names. I dislike Winifred even more than Wilhelmina

---

4) Minnie or Mina

---

5) Something Germanic. Engelbert? Konrad?

I think Wilhelmina is beautiful.
2. I'm not sure. Something with three syllables. Personally I think Hilda Wilhelmina sounds better than Wilhelmina Hilda.
3. Yes, I don't like Daphne or Winifred at all.
4. I think Mina is the cutest nn.
5. Not sure. Alexander?

It's cute, but in a cartoony kind of way. Wilhelmina the Not-so-Wicked Witch or Wilhelmina the Wild Weasel or something like that.
I like it a lot better than Winifred, which is a sour, sullen kind of name. You could even use Winnie as a nn.
I don't think it's as attractive as Daphne, which I don't really like either because I picture a snobby rich girl who is an expert at everything she does, to hear her tell it. But Daphne does seem more youthful, less goofy, and much less of a mouthful.

---

I would not want more than one short middle name for a jawbreaker like Wilhelmina.

---

My husband is now doing some genealogy research on his family, and there's a great-grandmother, (I forget how many greats) named Wilhelmina. She was called Willie. The funny thing is that her husband was William, called Bill. If I was a girl I absolutely wouldn't want to be called Bill, but I could maybe tolerate Willie, if I had to. Maybe Billie, but they are so Dust Bowl here in the US.
There's always Mina.

---

Wilhelmina would probably have a brother named Frederick.

I like Wilhelmina alright. It's a family name on my mom's side of the family (but spelled with a V). I prefer Wilhelmina over Winifred but Wilhelmina Hilda sounds quite rhymey. It might sound better if you put another name between them.

---

I kinda like the idea of Bill/Billie as nicknames, but I think my favorite nicknames are Willa and Mina.

I don't particularly like Wilhelmina. I don't hate it, but there are other names in the same style that I like much better.
If you want to use Hilda with it, I think you should put another name in the middle and use Hilda as a second middle name. Preferably something more spunky, like Wilhelmina Fern Hilda, Wilhelmina Primrose Hilda or Wilhelmina Lola Hilda.
I prefer Wilhelmina to Daphne or Winifred, but I really don't like those two, so that doesn't mean much.
As a nickname I'd go with Willa, but Billie could work too. Bill on a girl seems a bit ridiculous.
I'd name a brother for Wilhelmina Albert, Alfred, Gilbert "Gil" or Archibald.

I like the name Wilhelmina as a great-grandma throwback (which is in vogue now) that isn't nearly as common as the others. I might even like the spelling Willemina, or Willamina, better. The only nickname I'm familiar with Wilhelminas using, though, is actually Lilly.

---

Daphne Wilhelmina is a good combo, IMO.

I like the sound, but not the visual. It bothers me the sound flows, but the visual is so clunky. (Oddly Eoforhild doesn't bother me) Instead I go for Willemina, and like that it clicks with my family being Dutch. Billie I don't like.

---

Wilhelmina Violet Hilda? Wilhelmina Clarice Hilda? Wilhelmina Anne Hilda? I'm struggling to combo it well. I think in part because 4 syllables is quite long for 2 middle names. I agree though that Wilhelmina and Hilda don't sit quite right on their own.

---

I like Daphne best, but do prefer Wilhelmina to Winifred. I would call her Mina or Will.

---

Wilhelmina and Henricus

1) I like Wilhelmina. My impression of it: elegant, strong, old-fashioned.

---

2) I dislike it with Hilda, both because Wil/Hil rhymes and because the hel/hil parts, while slightly different, seem redundant.
For a 2nd MN, I would pick something short, not German, that doesn't end in A:

---

Wilhelmina Maeve Hilda
Wilhelmina Irene Hilda

---

3) I would use it before the other two, personally, but for other people I like it about the same as Daphne (and more than Winifred).

---

4) Willa would seem like the most natural NN to me.

---

5) Uh... Ludovic, Frederick, Ferdinand, Oskar, August, Theodore, Peregrine, Ernst, Ignacio, Edwin, Amadeo, Sigmund, Philip, Alexander, Waldo, Walter, Franz, Joachim, Isidore, Alaric, Athanaric, Theodoric, Anselm, Damien, Daniel, Emmanuel, Emeric, Octavian, Albert, Albus, Cassander, Leander, Caius, Gaius, Miles

1. I think Wilhelmina is cool but I prefer Wilhelmine. Easier to navigate, or something.

---

2. I don't think I would use Wilhelmina and Hilda together... But I guess something like Wilhelmina Elise Hilda or Wilhelmina Rose Hilda. Something sturdy and recognizable that doesn't end in a vowel.

---

3. I like Daphne the best out of those three, but I would like Wilhelmina "Willa" best if you were to use that nickname.

---

4. Willa

---

5. Ferdinand

1. Sorry I dont care for Wilhelmina. Just not my taste.

---

2. I'm not sure about the middle name....maybe Wilhelmina Elizabeth Hilda.

---

3. I prefer the name Daphne.

---

4. I like Willa as a nickname.

---

5. I like Jeremiah or Alexander.

I think Wilhelmina is lovely.

---

I definitely like it better than Daphne and Winifred.

---

I think Mina sounds like the best nickname.

1) What do you think of Wilhelmina?
- Sorry but this name does nothing for me.

---

2) What second middle name would you pair with Wilhelmina and Hilda (Wilhelmina ____ Hilda or Wilhelmina Hilda ______ )
- Wilhelmina Audrey Hilda, Wilhelmina Violet Hilda, Wilhelmina Felicity Hilda, Wilhelmina Juliet Hilda, Wilhelmina Cleo Hilda and Wilhelmina Saffron Hilda.

---

3) Do you like Wilhelmina better than Daphne or Winifred?
- No. Daphne is the only one I like of those three.

---

4) What nickname for Wilhelmina do you like best?
- Billie, definitely.

---

5) What would you name a brother for Wilhelmina?
- Sebastian "Seb", Edgar, Edmund "Ned", Leopold "Leo", Maximilian "Max", Thaddeus "Thad", Rupert, Charlton "Charlie", Vincent "Vin", Eric, George, Dexter "Dex", Elliott or Alfred "Alfie".

1. It's actually my maternal great-grandmothers name and I actually love it.

---

2. Wilhelmina Lenore Hilda... I don't know I am horrible at just adding a second middle name...

---

3. Yes, 100% more than both of them.

---

4. I like Mina but I don't mind Billie.

---

5. Something long because I like names that are similar in length to each other so Benedikt, Mordecai, Morgan, Thatcher, etc.

I like it, it s a solid name and nice to look at and say!

---

Idk, I will get back to you on that one!

---

Yes, but they all ranked the same to me!

---

Willa or Mina! Wil is fine too!

---

I already have a story with a character named Wilhelmina nicknamed Willa, whose older siblings are Bartholomew "Bart" and Dorcas "Dory"

I think it's cool although not my personal style. When it's spelled Wilhelmina, though, I want to pronounce it with a V sound at the beginning. So I prefer Willemina or Willamina if it's said with a W sound.

---

Calling a girl Bill turns me off, but Billie is appealing.

---

Wilhelmina Jane Hilda
The reason it doesn't work with Hilda is the Wil/Hil rhyme. Putting Hilda last breaks it up and makes it more an agreement than a rhyme.

---

I like them in this order:
Willemina "Billie"
Daphne
Wilhelmina "Billie"
Winifred
Wilhelmina "Bill"
Not a huge gap between them, except between Bill and all the rest.

---

Wilhelmina "Billie" and Ansel, Frans, Clement, Gerard, Edwin, Lars
