What's your thought on Wilhelm? It's a name I've been liking a lot recently. I even think it has made it to my top 4 of boy names. (August, Emmanuel, Isidore and Wilhelm)
Does it go well with the other names and what do you think of it in general?

I pronounce it Vill-helm, not Will-helm

I love it....

I think it incredibly dashing, and I prefer your spelling, with your pronunciation. I think it goes incredible with your other boy names.

It's on our top list as well! I think it's so much more interesting than the boring William, which I would use only to use the nickname Liam. I do like Willem though...

It's so superbly handsome.

It's been on my PNL for a while now. I love it. It's got that historical flair that I love in a name. And yes, it goes fabulously with the other names you listed.

I don't know, I think it's pretty boring (much like William which just makes me yawn). I also really dislike the "-helm" part.

In my opinion, it goes well with the other names.

I also pronounce it as Vill-helm, which must be because I am from Denmark and it is pronounced like this, no matter if it is spelled like Wilhelm or Vilhelm.

I like it but I prefer Vilhelm since Wilhelm looks too much upperclass for me and it also makes it more German for me. I also like the nickname Ville.
It sounds good with the other names too :)
