I agree it's too bad you couldn't use it as a first name as my first impression was that Hilaire was a very handsome name. *sigh* Stupid Americans, anyway, right? :o) (j/k, btw)

And despite the fact that Edmond Hilaire is another form of Edmund Hillary, well, I've always thought he had a great name, so I don't think it should deter you. There's always Raymond Hilaire (although IIRC, you'd prefer Ray as a mn).
