Beste Michael,

"Petronilla" would surely have been "Nelleke" in Brabantish, but in
Sint-Omaars people
spoke Flemish of course *s*. In Kortrijk (Flanders) therefore, forms like
"Peroenne",
"Peroenkin" and "Nella" have been attested as early as 1400 A.D. I can't
tell you much
about "Guilbertus" unfortunately. Originally, the names "Gillebertus" and
"Giselbertus" coincided. In Brabant anyway, we would say something like "de
Zjille" or
"den Beire" these days.

Greetings,

Luc Hellinckx
