原文: All Gillians with the traditional soft G:Gillian Rubinstein (born 1942, Britain) - Australian children's books authorDame Gillian Shephard (born 1940), former British Cabinet minister (Minister for Education)Professor Gillian Triggs (born 1945 in Britain), Australian Human Rights Commissioner.
原文: There's an Australian television reporter called Gillian Bowen whose name is pronounced with a hard G.It sounds so wrong to anyone born and brought up in Britain, where Gillian is always correctly pronounced with a soft G. Growing up in Britain, I knew half a dozen Gillians at school and there was a British politician called Gillian. All without exception pronounced their name with a soft G.The hard G is a very contemporary twist and detracts from the beauty of this historic name.

原文: The name Gillian was given to 120 girls born in the US in 2015.
原文: The comment from 4/17/16 is incorrect. Here's a quote from Gillian Anderson herself: "My name is pronounced with a soft g, not a hard one. It's Gill like jam, as opposed to gun." http://www.gilliananderson.ws/transcripts/96_97/9710us.shtml.
翻译文: 该指南说“jill-ee-en”,用“j”作为“笑话”,但Gillian Anderson,来自日益流行的X-Files系列的特殊代理Dana Scully发音为“gill-ee- en“,”g“表示”好“。只是想我应该离开这里! ; p \u003cbr\u003e [添加GIL-ee-un作为替代发音,但女演员用另一种方式发音她的名字]
原文: The guide says to pronounce it "jill-ee-en", with a "j" as in "joke", but Gillian Anderson, Special Agent Dana Scully from the ever-popular X-Files series, pronounces it "gill-ee-en", with a "g" as in "good." Just thought I should leave this here! ;p[added GIL-ee-un as an alternate pronunciation, but the actress pronounces her name the other way -ed]
原文: I just have to say it is REALLY annoying when people accidentally pronounce my name as Jillian, because I don't like how it sounds and that's how Americans pronounce the name. I mean, I'm Australian and American (More Australian) and having an Australian name is SOOOOOO boss! Americans need to get it right!
原文: I am Gillian and I pronounce my name with a hard G. I like this pronunciation way better than Jillian but everybody tries to call me Jillian. It is annoying. I think Gillian with a hard G is the Welsh pronunciation. I also got called Gilligan and I hate that. Gilligan's Island. Not a good association with my name. I like to be called Gilly, after the Gilly flower, or Gill or G. Or just Gillian! My middle name is Grace so my name is alliterated and it sounds pretty.

翻译文: 我认为吉利安比吉利安更好。吉利安 - 传统的,独特的形式,我认为它看起来更好。我喜欢它!
原文: I think Gillian is way better than Jillian. Gillian - the traditional, unique form, and I think it looks better. I love it!
原文: My name is Gillian. And ever since I was a kid, every single teacher has mispronounced my name with a soft g sound. And people still do it today, and it annoys the crap out of me! I'm always telling them, no it's Gillian, with a hard g, just like it looks. I now say, it's the Irish way of saying, which in fact is actually the correct way of saying it. Ugh! But I love my name and would not change it for anything! I love my nicknames too, I have several of them. Gili (which is Israeli), Gillie and Gilly.
原文: My name is Gillian with a soft G, I like my name spelled with a G versus a J because it makes it more unique. The name is classy and simple at the same time. However I think that both pronunciations of the name are nice.
原文: Regarding pronunciation, if you go by English phonetic rules, then pronouncing Gillian with a soft-g (like Jillian) is the correct pronunciation.The rules for hard-'g's versus soft-'g's is:A) If the word is of Greco-Latinate origin, then the g is followed by an i, e, or y, it is said with a soft-g. If it's followed by pretty much any other letter, you say it with a hard-g. [ ex: germ, angel, allergic, clergy, biology vs. Galaxy, gulf, gown, Greece, glacier]B) If the word is of Norse or Germanic origin, the letter 'g' could be said as a hard-g even if it comes before i, e, or y. [ex: get, girl, gills, stringy]Since Gillian is derived from Julian and all it's Latin cousins, I think it's safe to say that it should follow rule A, and be said with a soft-g/j sound.Personally, I love this name. This spelling is somehow more aesthetically pleasing than Jillian. It also looks more "grown-up" to me. More mature than Jillian. Maybe because "Jill" is just right there in front, and Jill tends to be a bit of a nondescript little girls' name it makes it look more juvenile? I don't know. I do know that I adore this name.
原文: Beautiful, but only when pronounced with the hard "G." When pronounced with the soft "G," it falls short and you might as well spell it with a "J" if you are going to say it that way.

原文: Gillian Joseph is a British newsreader on Sky TV.
原文: I really like this. It seems very English to me because both my grandma and a girl I knew in high school were from England and spelled their names this way, but pronounced differently. My grandma pronounces it with a soft J and the girl from my high school pronounced it with the hard G.

翻译文: Gillian Ayres是她这一代领先的英国抽象画家之一。出生于1930年。
原文: Gillian Ayres is one of the leading British abstract painters of her generation. Born in 1930.
原文: I should also add that, if hypothetically this *were* used as a man's name, I'd prefer the hard G pronunciation. Currently I'm seeing that as more masculine and the Jillian pronunciation as more feminine.
原文: I have actually heard of this being used as a boy's name. I can understand it seeming highly feminine, but then, I was just reading the comments for Julian over yonder--a name more masculine I have never heard!--and it astonishes me how many seem to think THAT's feminine. So for me Gillian doesn't sound overly feminine, but that said, I wouldn't use it for a son. Except possibly as a middle name. I did name a fictional character this once, and it suited him fine though he was in no way effeminate.
原文: A famous bearer is American actress Gillian Jacobs (born 1982). She's best known for her television work in "The Book of Daniel" and currently in "Community".

翻译文: Gillian Hewley是“危机核心:最终幻想VII”中的一个角色。她是Angeal的母亲,被杀死了。 (对于那些不知道的人,Crisis Core是PS1游戏“Final Fantasy VII”的前身,它遵循Zack Fair和他对FFVII,Cloud的主角的影响)。尽管事实上这是一个有趣的名字,将永远想起疯狂的科学家,当我听到它。
原文: Gillian Hewley is a character in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. She is Angeal's mother and gets killed off. (For those who don't know, Crisis Core is a prequel to the PS1 game Final Fantasy VII. It follows Zack Fair and his influence on the main character of FFVII, Cloud.) Despite the fact that it is an interesting name, I will forever think of mad scientists when I heard it.

翻译文: 我不知道为什么,但名字让我想起腐烂的水果。我严重鄙视它。
原文: I dunno why, but the name reminds me of rotting fruit. I seriously despise it.
原文: Well I really like my name because it makes me unique. It's quite pretty to hear someone calling me with the pronunciation of hard-'G' sound, rather than soft 'J'. I also prefer calling me in my nickname "Gill". To all of you, love your names because it can be the expression of the inner you. Gillian Rocks!
原文: Strangely enogh, I don't like the name Jill at all, but I think Gillian is quite a pretty name without being too girly and cutesy. I like both pronunciations, actually. To me, the 'g' sound is softer than the 'j' sound.
原文: My name is Gillian and I really like it. I use the hard "G" - it sounds and looks prettier than if it was spelled with a "J". I usually get called Gill or Gillza though. :)
原文: Nice name, very strong and pretty. My mum wanted to call me this, but obviously didn't think it through as my brother's name is Jack. Jack and Gill. No matter how you pronounce Gillian, it would still be awkward. Luckily she changed her mind.
原文: This is a really pretty name, with a medieval flavor, and not overused. I much prefer it with the soft G. The hard G makes me think of the gills on a fish.
原文: I love this name! I much prefer it with a hard "G", as in "Gill-ee-an", and I'm glad to see that that pronunciation is noted! Gillian is so cool and unusual!
