Handwriting Decipher Help Requested

I've recently had the [opportunity/coaxing] to go through a number of years of accumulated stuff.* Every piece of paper I pick up reminds me of something: a receipt for scooter work done while on the road to/from Vegas, a map of Chongqing China, crossword puzzles from all sorts of places, and lists galore (shopping, todo, comic ideas, addresses, work chores, etc.)

There is one thing I've come across that I can't quite figure out. I'm having trouble reading the handwriting and thought I might call on ya'll to see if you could decipher it. Highlighted in this picture is a signature. Does anyone have any ideas?

Over the next week or two, I hope to work up a few more Hey-Look-At-This-Neat-Crap-I-Saved-And-Want-To-Post-About-Before-I-Throw-Away posts. But don't worry; none of them will call for the same audience participation that this one does.

@Random Reader: I thought maybe Hilary too, but 1) I don't know any Hilarys (and this is definitely a letter from someone I know), and 2) Wouldn't the "H" be capitalized if it was in someone's name? But thanks for the thought*

The first letter could be an L. And it looks like it ends with a y. It looks like Lilaiy, but I don't think that's a name. That middle letter could be an f. Could you provide a few more samples of the writing?

Mystery solved!! My apologies to Random Reader*; "Hilary" is correct. The note was from 8 years ago, from a different time and place, hence how it slipped my mind. The answer was confirmed by a handwriting specialist, so the mystery can be put to rest.

Are you sure it isn't Horsefanny? Didn't you date a girl 8 years ago with that name?
