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.

In Dutch, Hilbert is pronounced as: /'ɦɪl.bərt/
With that said, the name has also seen some use in Scandinavia, but not to the same extent, i.e. it's extremely rare over there.
