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):

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.
