Help[Opinions] Alwilda
I've recently found a love for Alwilda. I really enjoy where the name comes from (Alfhild, who disguised herself as a warrior to get out of marriage before it was cool). I like Alfhild too, but there's something just so sweet and delightful about Alwilda's clunkiness.
I'm trying to choose a middle name. Opinions on these? Other suggestions?
Alwilda Beatrice
Alwilda Beauty
Alwilda Blythe
Alwilda Cecily
Alwilda Frederica / Fredrika (can't decide on spelling)
Alwilda Gertrude
Alwilda Gwendolen
Alwilda Harriet
Alwilda Joan
Alwilda Josephine
Alwilda Joyce
Alwilda Maryam
Alwilda Penelope
Alwilda Polymnia
Alwilda Rosamund
Alwilda Rosemary
Alwilda Shoshana
Alwilda Susanna
Alwilda Thisbe
Alwilda Tomyris
Oh, and bonus question: what nickname would you use for Alwilda?

Alwilda Fredrika, Alwilda Rosamund, Alwilda Tomyris are all calling out to me today.
Alwilda Beauty feels cool in an oxymoron sort of a way.
Hmm. I don't much like Alwilda (But looove Alfhild). I think it is the consonant-consonant-A ending that annoys me.
Anyway:
Alwilda Liesl
Alwilda Ludivine
Alwilda Melete
Alwilda Mnemosyne (What a weird one. Sorry, it just popped into my head)
Alwilda Isibeal (ISH-bayle)
Alwilda Saveria
Alwilda Wilhelmine
Alwilda Zuleika
Alwilda Leocadia
Ally? Willy? Wilda? Willa? Hmm. Nah they're silly.

I like Melete, but I'm not sure where the stress goes. me-LE-tee? MEL-e-tee? me-le-TEE? The second one seems the most right but I'm not sure.
Alwilda Ludivine and Alwilda Wilhelmine are both beautiful.

It took me a few times saying it, but I see what you mean, it has a greet feel to it, it's sweet and romantic but strong at the same time, especially with the story (even though she married him in the end). Possibly a bit unwieldy in practise though.
I really like Alwilda Rosamund and Alwilda Thisbe.
How about
Alwilda Mairead (ma-RAID)
Alwilda Rhiannon
Alwilda Bridget
Alwilda Vivienne
Alwilda Luthien
Alwilda Briseis
Alwilda Jocasta
Alwilda Nimue
Alwilda Xanthe
Alwilda Fern
Alwilda Katherine
?

Ooh! Alwilda Mairead is so lovely. I tried it with a lot of Margaret variants, but none of them seemed to fit...I think that's the one. Adding it to my Alwilda list.
Alwilda Bridget's sweet, too, and I really like Alwilda Katherine. (Alwilda Catherine? Hmm. Not sure about the spelling I'd prefer.)
I do worry it might be a bit unwieldy, but since I'm probably never going to have kids, I don't worry as much about how the names would work for a real child.
(Though I have to say, I could totally imagine having a daughter called Alwilda. Alwilda and Gertrude. Oh wow. That would be perfect.)
