HelpRe: Wilhelmina
in reply to a message by Bex
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
