I like Hildegard a lot. I think -gard is a strong, stately element to a name. It is a very strong flavor, though, and your instinct on a plain name with it is good. Anna Hildegard is a really nice combo. Anna is a very light, almost transparent name, and I think that combo is great. Mary has too much flavor for me with it.

There aren't many names as light as Anna. Maybe Jane Hildegard?

There are a few short names that are still flavor-rich whose flavor is complimentary.
I think...
Eva Hildegard
Ylva Hildegard
Vera Hildegard
Freya Hildegard

Names with Vs apparently.
