Taking into consideration the meaning, pronunciation and origine of Vile, it still get a hard 'no' from me. This is solely bc of the English meaning. I think you could only get away with it as a nn for Vilhelm maybe, bc then he could be Vilhelm in English speaking settings. Maybe changing the spelling to Ville would have worked if that didn't bother me bc of the French meaning. I never heard of Vile in the way you're seeing the name. I doubt many people would, so that would just leave the English word. If I encountered it I'd assume he was Nordic, mainly bc Vilhelm is and I would think it was related to Vilhelm in some way.

I'm not a fan of Emilius. To me it sounds like an Roman Emperor name. With a surname starting with an N it would definitely be a better choice than Emilian. I don't really like Emil either, otherwise I'd suggest that. Emilio might be tricky to pull off if you're Swedish, but would eliminate your problems with Emilian as well.
