HelpRe: Wilhelmina (ETA nns)
in reply to a message by RegalAmethyst
Gorgeous. My only fear is that people here in the U.S. would try to pronounce it, "wil-hel-MEE-nuh" instead of "willa-MEE-nuh." But other than that, I don't see any problems.
My favorite combination for it is Wilhelmina Alix. Alix, despite the link here at BtN, is the German form of Alice. Others you might like (sorry for any repeats):
Wilhelmina Lucy / Lux
Wilhelmina Ines
Wilhelmina Sophie
Wilhelmina Ione

Kind of all over the map, there. Wilhelmina took me in a surprising number of directions. Hope you like one or two. :-)
ETA: I forgot to add nns Mina (my favorite), Minna, Minnie, Willa, Willow, Billie. I'm in the minority around here. I love the nn Billie for a girl. It has a very Rosie-the-Riveter-we-can-do-it! vibe to it.

Thank you so much! I was wondering if anyone would like the nn Billie for a girl, but I wanted to see if it would be brought up. I agree that it's a great nn for a girl. I also like Mina, Minnie (I know that Minnie is quite sweet as a nn, but I always picture a very outgoing and colorful young woman), and Willa.
The combos you came up with are great, and there are so many I never would have thought of on my own!
Wilhelmina Alix (or Alice, for that matter) are both gorgeous.
Wilhelmina Ishbel, Wilhelmina Isibeal, Wilhelmina Swan, Wilhelmina Clothilde and Wilhelmina Blanche are my absolute favorites from the bunch.
I like/love*-
Wilhelmina Lux*
Wilhelmina Ines*
Wilhelmina Sophie
Wilhelmina Ione
Wilhelmina Afton
Wilhelmina Fleur
Wilhelmina Angele*
Wilhelmina Swan* -This makes me think of the Ballet.
Wilhelmina Erzsebet*
Wilhelmina Nadia* -Surprisingly I've never liked the name Nadia, but it works so well here.
Wilhelmina Chenoa ("sheh-NO-uh," Nat. Am.)
