I love Aliza (ah-LEE-zah)! Simcha is nice too. Aliza Paolina is nice.

---

Yasmina is pretty. I much prefer Jasmine or Jasmina, though.

---

Hilda is terribly ugly, sorry.

Love Yasmina!...............

---

She is on my favorites list. She is sophisticated, pretty, and rare (where I am anyway)

---

I like Aliza. She is spunky without being cutesy.

---

Hilda is okay, but she seems flat.

I like Aliza. In fact, today I was thinking about the name Alize. It has a good meaning too.

---

I also love Yasmina as well as Yasmin. It is quite exotic.

---

Hilda, on the other hand, I really dislike. It's very frumpy and not at all attractive in my opinion.

Aliza - It's okay. I'm not sure why I'm not wild about it. I like Aliza Paolina well enough. It's an attractive combo.
Yasmina - Yasmina is a tad frilly. I think I like Yasmin better. I used to hate the name, but it's been growing on me.
Hilda - An old lady's name.

Aliza Paolina is really pretty, it has a lot of grace.

---

Yasmina and other Jasmine names bore me. I know three Jasmine's, two Yasmine's and a Tasmin (that's Jasmine with a T) and I've seen it in variants in lots of BAs. I do admit they are pretty, but they just bore me.

---

Hilda is interesting. I think it's dated but it is still practical and charming, and the nickname Hildie is cute. I don't know if I would use it but I wouldn't mind seeing it around.

---

Aliza Paolina's awesome. It's rhymey, but in a good way- it feels very lyrical and lovely. Aliza's one of those names that sound like what they mean and I love that. She may be mistaken for an Eliza or Elisa (ah-LEE-za and eh-LEE-za are very very similar) or even an Alice, though. But it's easy to correct those mistakes.

---

I like Yasmina a lot better than Jasmine, but still don't like it, it's a little...I want to say over the top, but so are Lysistrata and Thomasina and Scholastica and Honorata and Cordelia and a million others on my PNL. Fluffy? Frilly? Hissy? I like Yasmin a bit better. You know what I think the problem is? It has no hard sounds at all. Yasmina's far too soft of a name, it's actually a bit difficult to say because there aren't hard sounds to grab onto, which is how the names on my list are different and why I do like those.

---

Ooh, Hilda. Hilda is cool. I like it as a nickname, but I'm not sure for what- Hildegard/Hildegarde? Brunhild/Brunhilde, Alfhild, Clothilde, Swanhild, Kriemhild, Gunhilda? They're all quite over the top, except Clothilde, which should have Tilda/Tillie as a nickname- Hilda is a real stretch. Alfhild might be usable, I'm in the process of deciding if I like it or not (and if I like Alwilda better). Audhild? That might be usable. It's certainly pretty.

---

Hilda can be a name on it's own, and that's probably the only way it's usable, but it definitely sounds like a nickname to me.

I'm quite fond of Hilda.

Simcha's got that "ch" loch sound - Aliza's alot more user-friendly and has a pleasant meaning. I think it works fine with Paolina (a lovely name) despite the mix of ethnic origins.
Yasmina seems a bit too much of a good thing to me, and unlike Yasmin I feel it almost inevitably runs the risk of being shortened to Yas.
Hilda strikes me as hard and unattractive, and fully deserving of its present retired status!

I love Alizah and Simcha, I love Simcha nn Simmy for a boy though and Alizah for a girl, both mean Joy,
as for your combo Aliza Paolina works well.
Yasmina is pretty although nms since not a fan of y names
Hilda-I am on the fence about it too, kind of like and kind of don't,
