HILLARY

Variations: HILARY, HILARIA
HILARY, HILLARY. Since we are now living in a Hillary era, the name having become as single-celebrity linked as Madonna, it is difficult to be objective about it: Most people’s opinion of the name will be colored by their opinion of the person. In truth, Hilary might have continued its century-long life as a somewhat-obscure, upper-crusty girls’ name had it not been for the emergence of Hillary (she uses the variant spelling) Rodham Clinton, the first First Lady with a really contemporary-sounding name, in sharp contrast to predecessors Nancy and Barbara. Originally a boys’ name (though there was a famous female St. HILARIA in the fifth century), Hilary as a name has a lot going for it. It has the rhythmic three-syllable structure so popular at present, it is strong but light, proper yet jaunty, and has an irresistible meaning, deriving from the same root as hilarious. Its biggest problem may be that, with Mme Clinton’s fame, it will become too popular too quickly and lose its distinctiveness.
