A bit old-fashioned, but I really like the sound of this name. Truly beautiful.

Interesting, what was the reason for this beautiful name to lose it's popularity? Looks like at some point many decades ago it was a really popular male name, but then it just rapidly lost it and it's not used often anymore. Anyway, Wilhelm is just an amazing name. Looks and sounds strong. Great male name!
This is my real name. I'm from Germany, and I'm 16 years old. I was adopted when I was 13, and now I live in America with a nice family. However, I sometimes go by Wil (sometimes Will) or William. In my school sometimes people call me William. Overall, most people in America don't care what your name is, and I find that very nice. If you like Wilhelm, go for it.

To me, this is the most German name out there. I gave this name to a German character in my book.

Makes me think of a twelve-year-old blond yodeler up in the Alps somewhere.
Ok, I take that back COMPLETELY. I started using this in a story I was writing (set in Germany) after saying it a while, I realized what a refined name this really is. It's one of my favorites now, much better than William. (Shows how fickle I am!)
