3. What's wrong with Hilly?
Edited on Tue May-13-08 11:22 PM by Chan790
It's a common nickname for guys named Hillel. It makes more sense than Dick as a nickname for Richard or Sasha as a nickname for Alexandre.

edit: missed a word.

5. This is the first I've seen it and I really don't like it.
Sometimes I really get annoyed at the constant abbreviating of nearly everything possible. There are a lot of beautiful names of people and places that are almost never used because of our seemingly relentless need for speed.
