So I got nervous, because we aren't into the "younique" naming style. But it sounds like either is fine, and more people might say it correctly.</p> <p>For what it's worth, we'd call her "Willa" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-6#post-2399249 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:13:51 +0000 erinpye 2399249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's the first. I know this because DH's ex gf is a Wilhelmina model and that's how I've heard it pronounced. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-6#post-2399246 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:12:33 +0000 Ra 2399246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wil-ha-meena </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-6#post-2399243 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:11:06 +0000 Silva 2399243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: I changed it, that's definitely what I was going for.

I don't think the other one is wrong but I would be surprised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-6#post-2399238 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:08:52 +0000 LovelyPlum 2399238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The second one, but I wouldn't bat an eye at being corrected either way. </p>
