Hildie

A short form of Hilda, or any name containing the hild or hildr element, from Mathilda to Swanhild and Hildegard. Hildie has never ranked as a stand-alone name, but with names like Birdie, Bonnie, Hattie, and Millie in vogue, perhaps Hildie might appeal to parents wanting something with that same clunky-cute vintage style. Meaning "battle", Hildie was given to 5 girls in the US in a recent year, while similar Hilda was given around 50.

Pronounced HIL-dee.

As of October 2026, Hildie ranked #16070 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #5088 in 1957.
