Hi there!
I have a question about the name Cillian. I found that both the board and the site say it's pronounced Kil-ee-an, but I've recently met someone of that name who insists it's SIL-ee-an.
Now, did his parents have it wrong or are there other people who'd pronounce it like that? Because I like it much better this way and would consider it for my own offspring-in-planning.
Any insight into this is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

It is so true that also the C and k represent a Gothic or should i say thentic or even a or pornounciation wich goes before gallic and for some time has an authority for the K is a boundery wich is fixed as of walking towrds a wall while saying it when just in front of it the word is finished where as C is a possiblity of a door-way and does perhaps go on further though in a place of standards both meanings are represented as the same distantfying relation though when the distance is noticed the K word is of stopping and the C word is of curving, more study continues with further agree till next time , o and let's see what we can figure of the from now start of this sentance, Time being spent thinking for instence while stareing at the wooded table top scratched i noticed maybe in a blur thow while acctually looking for was not noticed a setting design of a boyish face with a helmet a soldier type person from long ago my thought was time the person learned something and for a while while being observed was in time , this is a currious part of life and perhaps a happy one though what was carried longer the pernounciation of C or k i caught it i got it i'll get it hay come hey come on slan't can't come here Balance Blankoops Plank table cup Cut these words were most likely used way back when those last few words are very interesting way back when i could of said something else instead i prefered a unit of out comeing though of thought as in those years well another fine episode of Art Economics History David George DeLancey still trying 12:47 p.m.e.s.t.

His parents got it wrong. The Irish name Cillian/KIllian is always Kil- ee-an. I have never heard SIL-ee-an.

My Last post was to start with the Meaning of the two ll's in cillian there was another word though i forgot it while i was trying to aknowledge something else yep i forgot it and then thought of something else , may be some other time i shall recall my thought of the pernounciation of the word or name of cillian and it is very possible that long before the K was established a Quiet letter and not noticed wait a freeking minute that's write it never was in front and perhaps if studyed a bit more i shall oops find out why irish people are so freakin knuckle headed over stuff that exsist's thought are hard to find oop's again ya i know for sure we DeLancey's have a coat of arm's in ireland though for me spelling has it's up's and downs all ok though hanging in there follow up soon 1:07 p.m.e.s.t.
