Hadn't heard this name in years, but in the past month I've heard of it for a new baby and also a mum on the bus talking to her little daughter who looked about 3.
Is it making a comeback?

I think it's a great name, but like one of the posters above - I've known two and both HATE their names.

So maybe it's one of those names people like or generally consider a good name - but only if it's someone else having to actually live with it!

Yes, I know two - and they hate their names too! Awful name.

I think it's awful. Not a pretty name at all.

Love Hillary! Beautiful name and if baby is a girl will have Hillary as a middle name :-)

I don't think it's hard or harsh at all, it's a lovely name.
As long as it isn't pronounced Ilry,as it seems to be in Lincolnshire.

it's my aunts name and she was nearly called Jennifer and while I'm not all that keen on Jennifer, I always think my Grandparents had a moment of madness going for Hillary instead!

I knew a Hilary whilst growing up and I always thought her name was completely hideous!
