I think Witerik sounds cool. It's fun to say.

I assumed it was a V pron because the ik ending just makes it seem likely. I'm just confused about which syllable is emphasized. I kinda like it, but Vidrik seems neater and more 'accessible' to me, easier for me to read & say, so I like it more.

It’s interesting. How is it pronounced?

I've just been imagining it pronounced phonetically in English (a lot of English W names are different than German versions, so whatever imv), but it's related to Witte, so the traditional Germanic way is probably with a V sound...

(+rik, which I assume would be same as in Frederik / Fredrik in various languages)...Vidrik may be a version of it.
