Wilhelmina is one of my favourite names for girls, which took a long time to grow on me but now I absolutely adore it for its sound that's both very strong and very soft, depending how you look at it, and a multitude of versatile nicknames. I would be pretty happy to use it for a child, assuming I'd ever have one. So that quite naturally extends to Wilhelmine, since it is so similar. I do think it is a little more clunky than Wilhelmina, but still absolutely lovely. And if it's too clunky or weird in the first name spot for someone's taste, I think it could do really well as a middle name (or even one of several middle names) adding a bit of an aristocratic vibe to the combo. Wilhelmine feels very royal and noble to me. While it's a German name, I think it could work nicely in English pronounced simply as Wilhelmina without the -a, which makes it even softer than Wilhelmina, unlike the original German pronunciation.

The standard Polish form of this name is Wilhelmina, but Wilhelmine has had some usage in Poland as well. It was unranked for baby girls last year, meaning that either no babies or only one was given the name Wilhelmine, but as of January this year, there have been four women in Poland with the name Wilhelmine. Additional four women have it as their middle name.
