Jill

[BuntyPenfold]

I like this name but I seem to be alone. Does anyone else like it? I think it's an upbeat lively independent girl (ok, with a nice pony).

ooh yes I like it but very unusual!

hate it sorry

Jill is quite nice, if a little dull imo. It certainly isn't too common at the moment. Not sure I get the pony comment..

It's my DDs middle name, after my Mum. I would've had it for her first name but it would upset me too much to call her it everyday. I love it :)

I think it's absolutely lovely. But I love a lot of those 1950s children's book type names (Judy, Susan, Jane).

I like it too (good description swanandduck about 1950s children's book names! Judith/Judy is another one along those lines that I like). Simple yet very unusual today. I have the same image of a Jill that you do, BuntyPenfold (Bunty - now there's another 1950s name!).

Jill is nice. WOuld it be on its own or stand for Jillian?

I really like it.

I like it.

The one I know gets called pill or bean as nicknames.

I don't like it at all. Sorry.

I think Jillian is pretty. It's very dated though and that will put most people off, but by the time she is an adult, she will have a very unusual name that is beginning to come back into fashion.

melanie another dated name from same era that is pretty imo.

I generally don't like to see spellings changed, but I think Jillian looks fresher than Gillian.

My sister is called Jill, my Mum was sick of my name being shortened......anyways Jill, has been known as 'Jilly' for the last 28 years...so she couldn't win haha !

Also my sister now keen on her name but loves the fact there aren't many about !

Thanks everyone- I love Jillian too.She is sure to have long eyelashes.

My sister's name. She was forever being called "Gillian" by teachers etc which was annoying. She's just Jill.

Suits her - and I've never really thought of it as a 50s name (on account of her being mid twenties I guess).

I'm a Jill, found it a very boring name when I was younger but I really like it now. I do get fed up of people calling me Jillian though and having to correct them.

Of course mrsvwoolf and I imagine you with grey hair and a long nose and big teeth - sorry

Yes, that's what she looks like on the covers :)

My mum is Gill - she hates her full name. Its kind of a "blah" name to be honest. Nothing to actively dislike about it, but its just kind of there.

I quite like it

and Jilly for a little girl

mrsvwoolf have you got something in your knickers? Stop pulling faces
