I like it a lot. It feels very calm and friendly. The only Hilarys I have known were both unusual and interesting women - one is a professor and the other, last I heard, was running a bird sanctuary entirely alone on an island. I haven't come across anyone younger than 40 here with the name, but it's unusual enough not to look dated on a younger person.

It is maybe just a little masculine-feeling - maybe that's because I know it used to be a male name and there's a male saint, but could be why it's not so popular.

Hillary is a last name, so looks misspelt as a first name to me.
