"I named my daughter Jillian Kate. I heard the name Jillian in college and instantly fell in love with it. I was so happy when my husband loved it, too. It just sounds cute and spunky to me, which is exactly what my daughter is like. We NEVER call her Jill. The only think that surprises me is the people that haven't heard the name before and call her Julian. It drives me nuts, and it drives her nuts. But I didn't realize it was so uncommon - but I love it for that reason, too. It is still my all time favorite name." Jun. 19, 2014:

"My name is Jillian, but I go by Jill. I don't know why, I always have though. Probably because when I introduce myself as my full name, people have the hardest time trying to pronounce it. My favorite was back in second grade, some girl kept thinking it was pronounced "Jewel-lene." I've received "Julian" as well.
Anyway, I love my name. It isn't really common where I live. I think it's a beautiful, classic, and strong name." Mar. 15, 2009:
"Yeah I'm a jillian too. lol. I don't really care if people call me jill or jillian. i like both. my friends like to call me silly jilly. lol. i've only met one other jillian in my whole life which is awesome because that means i'm unique, lol" Feb. 18, 2009:

"Im a Jillian also, and I love my name. I think its beautiful and elegant. I absolutely hate it when people call me Jill. Especially after I ask them not to. People assume that if you call someone by a nickname they are being on a more friendly level with you. I love my name, nick names arent necessary" Feb. 14, 2009:
"Hey my name is also Jillian! It's just the perfect name because there aren't any stupid nicknames that people can call you. I live near the beach and the locals that work there call me Jillyfish." Feb. 1, 2009:

"My name is Jillian, and i absolutely love it! My mom said it was between kaitlen and Jillian and im so glad she picked Jillian. It is such a unique name. Growing up no one could call me jill because my real name was jill. My mom refused to call me jill. The only problem i have is with people calling my Julian which i despise!! but i just have to explain its Jill and ian together jillian. I love being unique and having a unique name and never hated my name growing up! It is a beautiful name and i get so many compliments plus i have only met one Jillian so far. Nobody has to put a last name inital at the end of my name like all the Ashley's i know Ashley F ashley K M D i could go on for days" Apr. 28, 2007:
"Well, i didn't believe my name was this popular haha. I am also a Jillian, and I have never met anyone with my name... I have only jill's... but i hate that because it just sounds so unfinished. It needs the ian haha. But I have met one Gillian... buuut I don't consider that the same... it's like Gilligan... might aswell pronounce the G the same way lol. Anyways.. I love this name and I would never want to change it. Why would I want a name that isn't uniqure and that everyone compliments> Everyone always tells me how beautiful and unique it is hehe! "Jilllliaaan" :)" Apr. 25, 2007:

"my name is jillian and at first i used to hate being the girl with the weird, uncommon name! but now..everyone at school is named jessica, crystal, or some other common name like that where you have to say their last name in order to distinguish between each of the girls. but with me..its like..im JILLIAN. jillian and only jillian. its like having the name BEYONCE everyone knows beyonce and doesnt need to use her last name. i have grown to love my mame! <3 i pronounce my name jil-yin. many people assume my name is julian since they've never heard jillian. but i just say.."hello? jillian barberie on FOX 11 news?!" and then they'll reply with: "oh! JILL-ian!" and plus, the few jillians i have met are always really pretty! :)
GO JILLIAN!" Apr. 20, 2007:
"My name is Jilliane and i love that i have the E on the end. I get alot of compliments on it." Mar. 9, 2007:
"I love my name! I hate being called julian i get that sooo much. My dad calls me Bean , my friends call me Jill, Jilly, Jillers and Jilly bean. I like it because not many people are called Jillian but enough that they don't spell it wrong...except sometimes people spell it with a G and I hate that......it sounds ugly." Feb. 24, 2007:
"My name is Jillian, and I have grown to absolutely love it more and more throughout the years. I sometimes wonder how it sounds to other people that don't hear it every day the way I do. My mom used to have a doll named Jill Baby when she was younger, and thus always wanted a daughter named Jill. Then she saw the name Jillian in a baby name book and fell in love! Sometimes I tell people to call me Jill because otherwise they'll say Julian, but they aren't allowed to call me anything but Jillian around my mom. I had a best friend named Jillian in elementary school, and she was the only one I knew. Now, in college, there are at least 2 Jillians in each of my classes (one with a G). Seems like it's getting pretty popular! A lot of people consider me "the funny one" or sort of girl-next-door-ish, and I think the name Jillian suits that persona very well. I have a twin brother, and my mom considered naming him Jacques. Sort of like Jack and Jill but more French and less obvious :) I'm glad she didn't! I get many compliments on my name, almost on a daily/weekly basis. I have a lot of little nicknames but the most popular would be Jill or Jilly. My best friend's name is Lillian so people have a lot of fun with that. I still can't imagine what it would be like to be named Amanda or something lame like that. :)" Feb. 6, 2007:
"Jillian is a beautiful and terrific name. I thought it was a popular name in '92 becuase there were 2 other Jillian's/Gillian's in my class. After that I never knew anyone by that name till '98. Over all in 22 years, I have only met 5 other Jillian's (with the combined various spellings). I have met girls who have it spelt Jyllian and Jilliann. When I say my name most people respond with "Julian?" (which is a boy name). It is funny how people know the name Jill but can't manage adding ian to it. For the longest time I was only called Jill because of the difficultiy I had introducing my self, and getting people to stop calling me by a boy name. I have reverted back to correcting people now as my name is JILLIAN not Jill or Julian. I love my name! The popular nickname Jilly or Jelly Bean has transformed it's self over time to beanie or beanie babe (after the stuffed toy fad hit). It's exciting to find things in store with my (full) name, spelt with a J in stores as it is uncommon. My Mom named me after a 80's daytime drama show, I guess. My mon has bought me every Jillian Jigs (and her wonderful pig's ) book too "Jillian Jillian Jillian Jigs! Looks like your room has been lived in by pigs!". I meet Robert Munsch who said he even used that name (same spelling) in his book 'Ribbons'. As you can see, I love my name! And to the Jillian who said she didn't like her name, I hope she grows to like it." Feb. 1, 2007:
"It's crazy how many Jillians get the nickname Bean from there fathers. My dad has called me Bean for as long as I can remember. My name is just Jill but my mom regrets not naming me Jillian so I promised her I would change it. I love the name Jillian a lot more." Dec. 1, 2006:
"My name is Jillian but usually people call me "Jill". I love the name because its rare and i have only met like 3 other girls named Jillian... People never usually mispell it or say it incorrectly. I love having this name it is different! ** Jillian**" Nov. 25, 2006:
"My name is Jillian, which I feel is too starchy for me - most people call be Jill which I prefer. I know of 3 other girls named Jillian after me, so I feel quite privileged." Oct. 31, 2006:
"My name is Jillian and I love it but I'm trying to figure out a nickname for me. Do you think that Jinny would be ok?" Oct. 7, 2006:
"My name is Jillian and some people call me Jill also but i like Jillian i think it is prettier but its funny because everyone calls me JillyBean also!!!" Sep. 28, 2006:
"I enjoy my name very much, however I hate being called Julian....I often wonder, don't people realize that is a boy's name?!?!" Sep. 25, 2006:
"my name is, yes, jillian. and i love my name. my dad calls me bean. short for jillibean. and no one pronounces my name wrong. i no 4 other jillians. sometimes, however, it is spelled with a G. i prefer being called Jill." | |
