I was originally indifferent towards this name (at best), but I've warmed up to it over time. It might get a few odd looks, but at the very least it's memorable, easy to spell, and easy to pronounce.
This name sounds so dorky. I'm surprised Nintendo would name the male protagonist in Pokemon Black and White Hilbert. It sounds a little too old for a young guy.
