I think Wilhelmina is really coo/beautiful sounding. 5 It has many nickname options like Mina, Willa, Helmi, or Helma.

It is definitely not popular. Although I love it because it was my great grandma’s (so very old) name. Her nickname was Minnie though, not Mina. Mina is still cute though. I would give Wilhemina a 5 and Mina a 3. I prefer Minnie for the nickname probably just because of my grandma. The name Mina reminds me of the movie Dracula, with Winona Ryder. Her name was Mina in it.

My grandma is called Wilhelmina but she always goes by Mina (prounounces it ‘Mine-ah though some pronounce it Mee-nah).

I actually prefer Wilhelmina to Mina. If you call her Wilhelmina most of the time it will be shortened to Mina anyway

Wilhelmina:1

Mina: 5

Mina is germanic and afghan. It means "will, desire + helmet protection". It’s also a scottish name, persian name, and a nickname. In my opinion, I like Mina more.
