I actually think Cillian would have worked in the US. It also looks less like "Kill Ian".I like the look of Ailidh better, but it would cause just as many problems as Eilidh would. I like Ceilidh, but prefer Kaley (it also has a seperate meaning, though). Just spell it Eilidh and do the explaining. People will get it.

It would have never flown in my neck of the woods, by it I mean Cillian. MY husband persisted in pronuncing it with an "h" Chillian and my mother would pronunce the C as an "S". I did not name him Sillian or Silly Its Killian. My mother said the Kill Ian thing and you know what I get a lot more like the beer then I ever get Kill Ian. He is now 3 and I still love it just as much. I personaly have no opportunity to use Ceilidh or Kaley even if I liked it. we already have Caela, Kyla, Kendall, Kailyn, Kristy, Kimmie.... I am not doing any more K like names!

Eilidh is really pretty. I also don't mind Ailie, but Eilidh is still better :)
I'd never have thought of Chillian. Some people might have said Sillian but some people say KEE-ra for Kyra and some say KY-ra, some say SAI-ra some SAH-ra (Sara) so I think it would have been just fine. Killian probably makes it easier, though.

I do like Ailie as well that might be a contender for me to persuade the DH!
