One of my favourites . . .

. . . only when spelt Cillian. Then it's great. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't get popular here. I think it's at #50 or #60 now.

I only ever knew a girl named Killian, while I was in college. it's always reminded me of the beer. As a general rule, I like to stay away from any name that's also a brand name.

I quite like the name, but prefer it spelled either Cillian or Kilian (both decrease "kill" associations, I think). It isn't my favourite Irish name (and I love many), but it's nice and unusual.

My DH and I actually considered it for our son but it reminded us too much of beer. I think it's kind of cool (boy only).

Looks and sounds like "Kill Ian" to me

It's nmsaa for a boy because it's so violent-sounding, and it's downright terrible for a girl because the violent aura is compounded by Killian being a truly male name. It isn't even unisex, it's 100% male and always has been.

Love Killian on a boy, not so much on a girl

I kinda like it but would never use it because 1) I'm not Irish. 2) It reminds too many people of killing. 3) In the US it's the name of a beer (some people point out that the beer's actual name is George Killian's Irish Red but that makes no difference to me; everyone calls it Killian's).

I believe surnames are unisex but only like Killian on a boy.

Well first off, I hate it on a girl. It's a nice name for a boy, but I just can't get past the "kill" in it.

too violent for my taste,

:( :) ;) ;( :P

As my response almost always is, I only like it on a boy. However, it is not a personal favorite of mine.

It's too trendy, and besides that, when I hear it I think of "kill" or, as Array said, the beer. It's much too masculine for a girl.

Killian is awful on a girl, and too trendy on a boy... I also don't like the "Kill Yann" connotation. lol

Sorry any name with the word kill in it just isn't mt style.

I really don't like it on either gender--the word "kill" at the beginning just (excuse me for saying it) kills the name for me. Awful sounding, no good nicknames, and about as gentle as Hunter.

Blech.
