I know you’re shit posting but I did once mash together the names of my great grandfather and my 2 times great grandfather on the opposite side of my family true, this resulted in the culturally disgusting name of Willard Wilms.
It’s especially funny since Willard is a traditional Celtic name and Wilms is a slightly Americanized name from what is today Baden Germany. Though at the time my ancestors left it was still Baden, Baden.
It’s Germanic, as are most names ending with -ard or -hard (Richard, Bernhard, Eberhard). It appears in old English as Wilheard.
Wilms can also be a form of Willems, which is Dutch. I don’t know if it occurs in Allemanic-speaking regions such as Baden. It might. I’ve been there, but only once or twice long ago. But I know the Low Countries well and have seen the surname used both in the Netherlands and Flanders.
ah yes who could forget great grandpa vault and great grandma dweller013
