Cillian vs. Killian

Which spelling would you use? Both are pronounced the same. Husbands name is Ian and we kind of want to avoid the "kill" but I feel like most people won't pronounce Cillian correctly. Feedback would be great thanks

If you're going for KILL spell it Killian. I'd say Cillian as seel-ian or sill-ian.

Go back to the drawing board. You can do better.

I wouldn't like Kill in my name

Do you plan to call him Kill for short?
posted by H :: 1 year ago | report
No we don't plan on shortening it at all

I think it depends on where you live. Do you think people would know how to pronounce Cillian. And some people on here need to grow up. Cill means church in Irish.

How about Kian or Caspian?
posted by C :: 1 year ago | report
Ciaran
Kieran

Or Ian as his middle name

I'd go with the more authentic Cillian. He'll probably have to correct people a lot depending on where you live, but with a dad named Ian, "kill Ian" seems like a very odd choice.
