Boys name for surname Gillis

[BalonzG]

Can anyone suggest boys names for the surname Gillis? In struggling to find many names which sound right.

Hudson Gillis
Martin Gillis
Stellan Gillis
Blaine Gillis
Flynn Gillis

That's an unusual surname, in Scotland Gillies is more common. I might be inclined to choose something Scottish - Findlay, Rory, David?

Cameron
Edward
Reuben
Isaac
Connor
Benjamin
Max
Jacob
Joshua
Matthew

I like J names with it; Jeremy, James, Josh, Jordan etc.

Alex Gillis
Simon Gillis
Roy Gillis
Leo Gillis

Think something short is sounding best.

Apologies for this OP but I can't resist: Willis.

Robert Gillis

Adam
Toby
James/Jamie
Edward/Ed/Teddy
Arthur
Daniel/Dan

Quentin Gillis
Reuben Gillis
Nathan Gillis

I think most names would work really.

Henry Gillis
Seth Gillis
Zachary Gillis

Dammit, bank, you beat me to it

Is Gillis pronounced with a hard G?

I was going to say Daniel then realised Dan just sounds rude with the surname

Andrew? But I'm thinking of a Scottish pronunciation so may not work depending on where you are.

See, I think that names ending in an 's' or 'x' sound don't sound nice with Gillis as both end with similar sounds. Like James Gillis, Max Gillis. Do other people think this too, or am I over thinking it? I like James and Max as names, but I'd ruled them out for that reason.

It's a hard 'g' like in gate.

Lots of great names but the best of them (in my opinion) have already been used by relatives... In one case on a pet.... Grrrr.

What is rude about Dan Gillis? Am I being naive here....

I wouldn't stress about it too much honestly. My son is called Ellis (which I probably wouldn't use with Gillis ) and our surname has a double 'L' in it too. Apparently my MIL thought there were too many L's in his name (made no difference whatsoever, we still named him it)
My name rhymes with my married name and it took me a while to get used to it, it does sound a bit of a mouthful lol but you don't use your surname that often really.
