Why PILAR?
Many reasons.
Wikipedia: Means “pillar” in Spanish. It is taken from the title of the Virgin Mary, María del Pilar, meaning “Mary of the Pillar”. According to legend, when Saint James the Greater was in Saragossa in Spain, the Virgin Mary appeared on a pillar.

HemingwayHome.com: Ernest Hemingway owned a 38-foot (12 m) fishing boat named Pilar. It was acquired in April 1934 from Wheeler Shipbuilding in Brooklyn, New York, for $7,495.[2] “Pilar” was a nickname for Hemingway’s wife Pauline and also the name of the woman leader of the partisan band in his 1940 novel of the Spanish Civil War, For Whom the Bell Tolls.
