Historically (in America), the spelling Hilary has generally been used for men and Hillary for women. In modern times it has drastically declined in popularity as a name for men.

I really like the name Hillary for a girl, and would definitely use it.

I really like the name too, but I despise Hillary Clinton, and I always think of Clinton when I hear the name. I would use it if not for the infamous Clintons.

or a name for a criminal

I don't think Hillary Clinton will ever be forgotten - so even though I like the name Hillary, Ms. Clinton has spoiled it for me!

I love the name and I love Hillary Clinton. I will DEFINITELY use it if I have a girl in the future.
