totally hypothetical buuuut...

[botherednanny]

... my BF and I were discussing baby names (a little sad I know as I'm not even pregnant + prob won't be for another 3/4 years BUT STILL!) and we really like a collection of three names, but our mate has rubbished the first one - I think they've lovely and have my heart SET on them regardless for the future... so indulge me ladies + tell me what you all think!

cillian (pronounced kill-ian)
lillie
cole

there is a german name Kilian (pronounced- Kee-Lee-ahn)

I knew a Killian when I lived on the West Coast of Scotland. He was a great hulking (but lovely) teen when I knew him, and it certainly suited him. But he was Killian with a K rather than a C - no confusion over pronounciation there.

Cillian is an irish name

if I could think of a similar name that reflected my heritage (scottish/indian/bajan) I would but I'm drawing blanks lol

although I do like victor (my grandads name) as a middle name but cole victor sounds doesn't work+cillian victor just sounds a bit OTT

you have to forget cillian or Silly-Anne as he will be called as people wont know how to say it

or Kill-Anne

No more

Nothing goes with it.

John is a nice name!!

Lillie looks ridiculous. Cillian will forever be Silly Sillian (although I don't actually have a problem with the name pronounced properly IYSWIM) Cole? Doesn't really do it for me one way or another.

Aren't Cillia those little hairs inside of your nose that catch germs and mucus? (pronounced Sillia?) - I seem to remember from A-level biology lessons..........probably not a good name for a child!

The others are OK.

Bear in mind though by 3-4 years time you'll probably have heard some other horrors lovely names that you'll like even better!

I quite like Lillie - as in Lillie Langtry - or Lily. Not keen on Cole or Cillian, sorry.

frazzled, that was what I was thinking about...

re: cillia - boooooo!

Sorry, botherednanny! Sad but true......

but I really like the name! and killian is just... TOO much.
or is it? especially with victor

KILLIAN VICTOR

it sounds like a superhero baddie.

it really is awful.....................

It sounds evil. It really does.
But if you like it.........

cillian - I don;t like this, sorry
lillie - I like the name Lily, but really don;t like the spelling as Lilie
cole - Not for me, sorry.

Cillian (Kill-ee-un) is a fairly popular Irish boy's name.

Killian is often spelt with a K even in Ireland. I knew one growing up so it's surprising to read all these "will be teased at school comments"

Cole sounds like the silly name to me.

And Lillie is just a bit, well, pretty but blah.

What about Jillian? For a girl obviously! I like that. Jilly a bit fresher than Lilly.

Victor is extremely cool. Victor Bruce and Donald were my favourite names when I was pg with son 3 and a half years ago and everybody just made a face back then...

Cillian- horrible
Lillie- like the name but would spell it Lilly
Cole- Chavvy

cole - chavvy? por que??
I definitely don't think its chavvy... its not like its kai lol

not crazy about jillian...

killian victor is growing on me though!
