...nothing.
She has it as a main contender with Ruth and Susannah. None of them are my style but Hilda I find hideous.
Is it fair to try and put her off, is there a chance it will come back in fashion?
Does anyone here actually like Hilda?

I do hope your friend isn't readint his btw...could come up in a google search, oh dear...

Gosh it is vile and I can only say that because you are not the parent involved

What is her reasoning?
Elderly relative?

It could grow on one in a post modern freak kind of way - like in Habitat when they do that 'we can't make a normal vase, it's such a cliche, let's have one that looks like a lump of poo' kind of thing - but no, really, no, no, no NO!!!!

Oh and don't say anything.

I am a Susanna, I am biased

I know a Hilda.
She's in her twenties.
But she's also a forrin, so doesn't count.

I'm not keen on Hilda.
Maybe she was pulling your leg?

Hilda may have suffered a terminal decline in popularity I am afraid; I agree with you that

Hilda is hideous
You should say nothing
