Boy name: Killian

Boonhilde

I don't usually care what others think of my name choices, but I usually pick standard names. However I like an unusual name right now and I'm wondering what the consensus on it is:

Killian Fredrick

(Fredrick after his grandpa's middle name.)

I like the names, prefer it as Cillian, but realize the k is easier for Americans in general to pronounce.

I prefer the C also.  I don't like seeing Kill.

I love when this name pops up. Killian makes me think that you love beer. Cillian is my preferred spelling.

Makes me think of beer

I actually like it. I heard it on a show I watch. I do think it looks nicer with a C.

I like it. I prefer it with a c, however I think it's nice either way

Me too but it's been an almost totally dry pregnancy. Everything makes me think of beer.

Love it with a C

NMS. I don't care for the K, but I don't see a lot of people knowing how to pronounce it with a C.

With a K.. I think of the beer... With a C... I think of Cillian Murphy, and I much prefer Cillian Murphy

I want to throw out that I really like Fredrick Killian! For a FN I like it with a C, but I think you will get pronunciation issues

I like Fredrick so much more.

Legit name, but I can help by see/hear "Kill".

I wouldn't choose something that starts with kill. I like Kellen.

How do you pronounce Killian? Is it like Jillian with a K? 

mrstrax

Not bad as far as "unusual" names go (NMS) but I definitely make the beer connection.

Yep. Pronounced just like Jillian but with a K.

I have grown to really like the name. I have seen it more with a K but yea the whole Kill part is not the best. Like others have suggested maybe Cillian. I like either spelling but I think it's a good name that is unique but not too out there.
