Re: Thoughts on the name Jillian??

  • I like Jillian, I'm not a huge fan of Jill, but that might just be me.  I love Regina.

  • I love the name Jillian.  However it's my step daughter's best friend's name therefore I don't think we'll use it.  I know she's only 7 but, anytime she hears the name now, she always says, "My BFF is Jillian" and I just don't want to listen to that forever and a day (I know it'd wear off eventually, but you get my point).  Regina is NMS.

  • Love it as long as you call her jillian
  • I always liked Jillian.  In the past few years, however, I've met two very awful people with that name so there's no way I would consider it now.  That's just me though.  I think Jillian Regina is a really nice name.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE.
  • Love it!!!!
  • Love Jillian. Regina is NMS but if there is family importance I would go with it :)
  • I love the name Jillian and it would definitely be on our short list if it wasn't the name of a close (and somewhat crazy) friend.

    Regina is NMS personally but I think that it sounds nice with Jillian.

  • I love the name Jillian!! The only reason I did not use it myself is because my DS is Jack.... and Jack and Jill..... couldn't do it!

  • I like the name but prefer Gillian.

  • Around ages 18-19, I seriously consider petitioning the court to legally change my name to Jillian.

    I'm glad I didn't, but it has nothing to do with the name. I still LOVE the name :) 

    (spelled with a G, like someone suggested, looks way too close to Gilligan to my liking)

  • Like it and prefer the spelling as is.  Regina is NMT, especially with the "soft g/j" alliteration.

  • I'm a hairstylist and work with a Jillian - she is amazing! She is super cute and very talented.  We call her Jilly-Bean sometimes.....but, I love it! 

  • I really like Jillian.

  • Regina sounds very old and I just don't think it sounds pretty either. Jillian is so cute and young...a direct contract to Regina I think.

  • My parents named me Jill when I was born - and then a few days later had it legally changed to Jillian. I have always gone by Jill though, and now that I am older I wish I would could by Jillian but it's hard to do! It even feels weird for me to introduce myself as Jillian, so I just still with Jill.  Anyways, the point of my post is if it's Jillian you like, stick with Jillian!!
