This makes things interesting. Firstly, I am glad it's not "crime-hildt". I was afraid that's what it was, and am releived that's not so.
See, I like the sound of "kreem-hildt", but it also seems a little "graphic" to me and reminds me of "cream hill" - which is also pretty, but.... I obviously spend way too much time around foul-minded men, if you know what I mean. However I think that shortening the "ee" part to "Krim-hildt" is also feasible and I find that extremely awesome. Luckily, the
German version of this name is
Krimhilde and I think that is rockin'. Much more so than
Brunhild.
Added to name list! Thanks, Telfalathiel!
