FWIW, the pronunciation of Guillotin and Guillotine isn't just 'slightly different'. At least not in French. "-tin" is pronounced "tɛ̃" while "-tine" is pronounced "tin".
I agreed that Wiley Coyote instead of Wile E. Coyote was ruled correctly last week because that doesn't change the pronunciation significantly, but Guillotin/Guillotine is at least as far off from each other as Brigham/Bringham.
