The fact that I've recently discussed my stepbrother's name has brought my stepsister's name to mind.
It's Hilary.
I dislike it. Not because of Hillary Clinton, I don't have a problem with her. I just don't like it because the initial "Hil" sound makes me think of names such as Hildegarde and Brunhilda. I just don't like that sound.
Once my stepmother stated how much she loved the name, and I remained tactfully silent. (Believe it or not, I can be tactful once in a while!)
Although I hate the name, I think it's slightly improved by having two L's instead of one---my stepsister has just one.
What do you think of Hilary or Hillary? Do you prefer one L or two?
