[Opinions] Hillary
I've started liking this name for a girl, even though I very much prefer Hilaria.What do you think of Hillary? Which spelling do you prefer, Hillary or Hilary? Will it remind people too much of Hillary Clinton?

I far prefer Hilary and always have, long before the Clintons and their extra L came along. I like it in a vague kind of way: a bit dated, a bit outside my range, but definitely OK for real-life use.

I don't like Hillary. It's not my style at all. I don't think it's too associated with Clinton, and even if it is, that's not a bad association in my opinion. Not bad at all. Oh and I prefer the spelling Hillary. It looks more complete to me.

I kind of like it. It feels a bit dated. I prefer Hilary; it is lighter & less frumpy to me. Plus it doesn't make Hillary Clinton my first thought.

My sister is Hilary Patricia, meaning happy noblewoman. It fits her to a tee.I've always loved her name. As a name, Hilary (with one "L" -- two "L's" makes me think of hills, not people) reminds me of an English country garden. It's so lively and happy sounding. But maybe that's because I know what it means . . . .Anyway, Hilary gets thumbs up from me (but I am biased).

I like it. But whenever I mention it, people do mention Hillary Clinton. Well, who cares about that I guess! I kind of like Hilary over Hillary. :)

I think of Hillary Clinton and Hillary Duff, but it's a nice name. I could see it making a comeback soon with other similar names such as Shirley

I like Hilary rather than Hillary. Hilary used to be a favourite of mine for boys years ago. I prefer Hilaria. Any Hilarys I have know have been lovely so it has good associations for me.

I prefer Hilary. The Hillary spelling looks weird to me and it much more reminds me of Hillary Clinton. I also like the Italian Ilaria better than Hilaria.

Hilary has been a favorite of mine for YEARS. Could be because I was completely obsessed with Hilary Duff around the age of 10, or it could be I just like the sound of it hehe.I have friends who are twins named Hilary & Kimberlie and Hilary is just the sweetest girl ever.Anyway-LOVE it!!
