Vernoemen naar WilhelminaGuest ·
I'm pregnant with our first baby. Our daughter's first and third names are chosen. For the middle name, we want to name her after Wilhelmina. My grandma was called that (and short for Wil) and it's my mom's middle name. Do you have any ideas? I find Willemijn a bit heavy and old-fashioned, and Wilhelmina especially not beautiful because of the 'hel' in it. Preferably something in a more modern style, but still clearly coming from Wilhelmina. Thanks!

    I still think Willemijn is the prettiest, but I do get that you find it a bit heavy.
    My favorite is Willa or Willow, I think.
    And then there's also:
    Helma, Ina, Lina, Mina

    I think Mia or Mila are nice names.

    Maybe:
    Wilma, Willa, Willy, Willemien, Elma, Miene, Mina.
    I'd still go for Willemijn I think.. Good luck!

    I think Willemein is nice, you don't hear it much anymore, it's a sweet name.
