[Opinions] Wilhemina
WDYT? Also, do you think that it's a good way of phonetically spelling the wil-a-MEE-na pronunciation?

I like it and that's how I'd pronounce it.

Well- I can only speak from my own experience with the spelling of Wilhelmina;When I was in early high school (age 11 ish) I was tasked with some sort of creative writing task and I named one of my witches Wilhelmina. No idea why or where I got the name from, but I spelt it correctly. It was after that school day when my mum told me that it was my grandmother's name. I'm not saying I magically learned how to spell Wilhelmina through that (because I had no idea it was her name... that and she commonly went by another name unrelated to Wilhelmina) but I think because I am and have always been a notoriously bad speller that if you're worried about people spelling Wilhelmina correctly then I don't think it's such an issue imo Other spellings of the name do not look right to me, personally

I still think what I thought yesterday in reply to LapinLavender's post! Except that, without the second L it looks like a typo; definitely not like a guide to pronunciation.

I strongly dislike this spelling.Willemina is my favorite spelling of this name, but I do also like Wilhelmina and can tolerate Willamina.
