Pronounced with a hard G, it definitely sounds like a familiar boys name. I've never met a Gillian in real life though, male or female. Maybe I've heard of it as a surname? I can't remember.
I have met some people named Jillian, all female. I've always known that as a "J" sound. Gillian looks like it has a hard G to me, but if I saw it on a girl I'd assume it was a soft G. Mostly because soft G makes it sound feminine and hard G makes it sound masculine in my opinion. I don't know if that's true, but that's my perception.
I'm in the US, if that makes any difference.
