"Hill" as a nickname for what name?

Arial[/name] [name]Black[/name]]

I really like the name [name]Hill[/name] for a boy. I would just use [name]Hill[/name] as the name but it doesn’t really sound right with our last name. Is there any name for which [name]Hill[/name] could be used as a nickname? The only one I can think of is that I know of a man named Hillar, but I don’t really like that.

Thanks.

[name]Hilton[/name] was really my only idea. But with [name]Paris[/name] [name]Hilton[/name] and the [name]Hilton[/name] Hotel chain, I would personally take Hillar, or just [name]Hill[/name], over that.

Technically, [name]Hilary[/name] is a unisex name (started out masculine), but I think that would be a pretty tough sell, too.

My only other thought is the actor Sendhil Ramamurthy–I suppose you could do Sendhil, but it strikes me as a very ethnic name.

Good luck!

I once knew a Hillis.

My first thought was [name]Hillard[/name].

You could use [name]Bryn[/name], which means [name]Hill[/name]. Or [name]Bryn[/name] [name]Liam[/name], which would get you to hillbilly. :slight_smile:

Hillier? Name of a famous Canadian general.

I second Hillier. “[name]Hill[/name]-yer/yar”. This was my childhood best friend’s middle name and we loved it and always tried to figure out how to call her just that. Very avant-garde for rural [name]Canada[/name]. And as Jenna5128 says, it is a prominent, well liked [name]General[/name]'s name.

I know a number of boys/men named [name]Hillel[/name] but it’s not a name you hear much at all except on Jewish guys. I like it though.

I’ve always liked Cahill “kay-hill” and [name]Nikhil[/name] “nic-keel”- name of the main character in the movie The Namesake
[name]Churchill[/name]
[name]Mitchell[/name]
[name]Phillip[/name]
[name]Hershel[/name]

I actually have a little girl in my class with a brother names hill.
But my dad work with a man named [name]Hilliard[/name] pronounced like hill-yerd hill is an easy nn there. Plus [name]Hilliard[/name] isn’t bad
