Kylian

Thoughts?

Cillian, no?

Horrific

Cillian or kylie is fine.

Cillian
Killian if you absolutely have to
My brain automatically pronounced Kylian like K-eye-Lian

Not Cillian, just Kylian. I think I kind of like it so does DH

Is that pronounced Kyle-Ian
Or
Cillian ?

I quite like Kyle but not with Ian on the end.

I've heard of Cillian (Kill - ian) - Irish name - Cillian Murphy actor which is a lovely name. But Kylian (Ky - leeun?) How are you pronouncing it? It doesn't work for me.

I wouldn't assume it was pronounced the same as the actual name Cillian.

To me it reads like Kylie-an.

It's pronounced the same as Cillian just spelt differently

Well if you like it that’s what matters but I don’t imagine you’ll get a lot of love for it elsewhere.

Agree with others. Spelling is off. Cillian is fine, though a bit peaky blinder.

Looks like Kylie-Ann. I wouldn’t pronounce it like Cillian at all

And really depends on pronunciation. The way it’s spelt likely to be pronounced Kye-Lee—An which sounds like the chocolate shells to me a bit.

Spelled wrongly more like.

It would be pronounced Kylie-Anne by everyone who saw it before they heard it.

Cillian is fine, no need to spice it up with an exotic spelling.

It's pronounced the same as Cillian just spelt differently incorrectly.

Corrected that for you

ky-lian? That’s horrible. Cillian is nice.

I’m not sure I would want to name a baby after a famous footballer, however outstanding. (Kylian Mbappé is a French striker who plays for Paris st Germain). Even if the football link isn’t intentional, it’s what most people will automatically assume.

The name Kylian is a boy's name meaning "war strife or church". The Kylian spelling of this popular Irish name was introduced to the lexicon by French soccer star Kylian Mbappé.

On the off-chance this is genuine...Your poor son will spend his entire life saying "No it's not Kyle Ian, it's actually Cillian" and spelling it out on a daily basis.

Cillian is a great name. Kylian is daft.

Lol, that's who we got the inspiration from

@sunqueen97
If you both like it, go for it, don't worry about strangers on the net!

My first thought was the footballer too 😊

Laughing at all those insisting it's the wrong spelling 😊

I honestly think a lot of people IRL who I know would pronounce it correctly

This thread has made me realise I have no idea how Cillian is pronounced. But I’d be very confidently pronouncing Kylian Kyle-ian which it appears isn’t how you would say it!
