I know a girl named Gillian and she pronounces it like Jillian. I think that Gillian is just a variant of Jillian when it's pronounced that way.

My sis-in-law, who is due anytime now, is going with Jillian if she has a girl. I like it with either a G or a J, but always pronounced with a soft g.

I don't really like either they seem weak to me, I prounce them the same

I like Virginie nn Ginny which is kinda similiar :/

I like them but they're too popular where I live (from women aged 40 downwards, I'd say). I pronounce them the same but I have met one Gillian who says her name with a hard "g". That might be from confusion with the male Scottish name Gillean/Gillian which is pr'd with a hard 'g'.

The closest thing I really like is Julian for a girl.

I would pronounce them the same. I prefer Jillian though, because I think it looks nicer and believe it would be easier for ppl to know how to pronounce. I also think it's good that Jillian could have the nn Jill.

I pronounce both Gillian and Jillian the same way. I prefer the spelling Jillian, as I think it's just nicer looks (the G looks odd to me, for some reason). I also like Jill as a formal name.

I pronounce Jillian with the soft 'g' and I love it :-)
I want to pronounce Gillian with a soft 'g' because I like that much better, but when I look at it, I only hear it with the hard 'g'.

---

I pronounce them both as JIL-ee-an and I prefer the spelling Gillian for some reason : )

I prefer the original spelling (Gillian).

---

I think the name is very sweet and a definite plus it's not overused.

---

Do you pronounce them differently? No

I love the name Jill by itself but i guess Jillian/Gillian is OKAY...I prn. them both with a soft "j" sound like you

Hmmm. I've never heard of Gillian pronounced with a hard G. I need to get out more. I've always pronounced Jillian and Gillian the same, with a "j" sound.

I like Gillian / Jillian

---

And I pronounce them the same. I prefer the Jillian spelling, b/c I see Jillian as a form of Julianne.

I really, really like Gillian, but only pronunced with a hard G as in Gilligan. I think Gilly's a sweet nickname.

---

Jillian can go away and stay that way. I always think of one of the girls who had a "Vote Bush or Die" shirt on during the election--she got mad when I told her she misspelled "and" on her shirt. :)

---

I like Jill, but not Jillian. And Gillian (and Gilly) totally beats both.
