I can’t say I like it enough, sound-wise, to fully appreciate it as a first name, but I don’t mind it in the middle slot and do enjoy its strength and touch of sunniness. First thing to come to mind was True Hildegard, which I like the feel of, but I’m mainly wanting something softer. Maybe...

I like Hildegard a lot. I think -gard is a strong, stately element to a name. It is a very strong flavor, though, and your instinct on a plain name with it is good. Anna Hildegard is a really nice combo. Anna is a very light, almost transparent name, and I think that combo is great. Mary has too much flavor for me with it.

---

There aren't many names as light as Anna. Maybe Jane Hildegard?

---

There are a few short names that are still flavor-rich whose flavor is complimentary.
I think...
Eva Hildegard
Ylva Hildegard
Vera Hildegard
Freya Hildegard

---

Names with Vs apparently.

I love Hildegard, but I don’t have the guts to use it. I would totally use it for a character.

I love Hildegard: its the name of my main character.

---

I like it better than Hilda, for sure! Wouldn't use it myself, because in English I think it has a very strong religious vibe: Mary Hildegard especially suggests a nun. Which might well be what you want; if not, then I think a less common name would work better.

I like Hildegard. As a FN I'd use with the nn Hilde though (which I really like). Mary or Anna sort of blandifies Hildegard. I'd pair it with something with hyst a little more attitude than those.

---

Maybe instead of Mary and Anna something like Rosemary Hildegard and Johanna Hildegard or even Marianna Hildegard.

I love Mary Hildegard!! Mary combo names are great.

---

As a first name by itself it's too much.
