doesn't grab me as a name for a person.

It's okay... I had a flatmate in 2nd year called Maria Pilar and she went by Pilar. She said it was a very popular middle name in Spain.

I like Pilar but I don't like how other people think of pillars and the can make it into a "pee" joke.

I love it, yet I always seem to forget about it.

I remember when we first came across this name in Spanish class my teacher told us that it was a reference to the virgin Mary, and while that + the fact that I'm not at all Spanish make it something that isn't usable for me personally, I still think it is a really cool name. It's simple and cute and lovely...and I really do like that the etymology is so meaningful. I should PNL Pilar, I really have always found it appealing.
