What do you think about Killian?

Although Killem would be worse

@Lilacsunflowers Cillian is a top ten name in Ireland. Ireland is an English speaking country, and they don't seem to have an issue with it, in fact it has flown up the charts as people like it so much. It's also popular over there spelled Killian. You might not like it, but it works perfectly well over here if people are a bit less close minded.

The entiire country of Ireland speaks English and manage cope with every fifth town starting with the sound kill... Kildare, Kilkenny, Kill, Killcullen, Kilmacthomas...

And all those Kil place names were anglicised by, you know, English people. Fancy that.

Killian is a perfectly fine anglicisation and germanisation of Cillian.

It's spelled Killian and Kilian in Germany, where St Killian worked as a missionary (around Wurzburg, in present day northern Bavaria). He is also venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church, feast day 9 July.

My brother 56, is called Cillian. Everyone calls him Kill or Killer!!! Not so nice

@Lilacsunflowers

Seriously, your comments are going from silly to ludicrous.

Shouldn’t it be Cillian?

I love that name
