Sorry for butting in and making this discussion more complicated

I do have to concede to CaD that the name "Ermenhilde" does exist after doing research, even if it was only on a medieval names database (I also found a Light Novel series called "Kamigoroshi no Eiyuu to Nanatsu no Seiyaku" (The God-slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants) with the furigana over "Seven Covenants" being translated as "Ermenhilde").

The name "Elmenhilde" however didn't come up at all as a legitimately recorded name, and the only other characters that shared this name were fan-created (which may have borrowed the name from the character up for discussion).

On one of those sites however, I did find a possible etymology section that could suggest the name still has validity:

"Elmenhilde is probably a blend of two feminine names Elmena and Hilde. Elmena is a variant of Elmina of Old German origin, meaning "determined protector", derived from helm with the meanings "helmet, protection"; diminutive of Dutch, English, German, and Polish name Wilhelmina. Hilde is a German and Dutch variant of Hilda, has the meaning "ready for battle; battle woman; battle stronghold"; derived from Old German hild  "battle". (retrieved from: Legend of the Cryptids wiki#Elmenhilde, Time Waster)

While there is no proof that a name ever existed as far as we are aware of, there is a possibility it could of. As I prefer the name to retain its "L" over changing it with an "R", I wanted to at least weigh in a verdict it the spelling's defense before it goes up for discussion.

Thank you.
