[Opinions] Re: Hildegard
in reply to a message by ari.
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.
Frances Hildegard, or Hildegard Frances
Elinor Hildegard, or Hildegard Elinor
Suzanne
Antonia
Ruth
Gillian
Annabel
Amy
Deborah, for a vintage vibe (fn only; Hildegard Deborah is uncomfortable)
Olivia, to bring it right up to date
