Gillian if you're pronounce it with a hard G. If not, Gemma.

I really like both, btw, but I guess I just prefer the "historical" aspects of Gillian a tiny bit more.

Is Gillian traditionally pronounced with a hard G? Just wondering because it says that it comes from Julian which would indicate a pronunciation with a soft G. I have never heard it with a hard G, is it a traditional pronunciation?

I know that the actress Gillian Jacobs pronounces it with a hard G. Whether that's "correct" or not I don't know, but I like it!
