Congrats and thank you for letting us in on such a great name. I love how retro and musical Hilda is. It's funny. My sister is Hilary Patricia, but my mother's nn for her has always been Hildy Mary. I had to blink twice when I saw the name Hilda May in your title. :-) Plus, I'd name a dd Niamh, so this whole combo has me reeling.
And how sweet for your MIL. Nice to hear.
Sean is OK, not a personal favorite. It's nice to see Jamie used for a boy, although I would have prefered it as a nn for James. Aine Brid is gorgeous, as is Eibhlin. Tell me, when you say it's pronounced like Evelyn, do you mean, "EV-uh-lin" or "EEV-lin?" Because I used to think Eibhlin was pronounced "EEV-lin" and it was a top ten name for me. But then I found out how differently it is pronounced all over Ireland and I gave up on it, sadly. Just curious.
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face this Monday morning. :-D
