It's a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl (turns 1 next week). To me it's a much prettier spelling that with the J. People who pronounce it with the hard G crack me up. We call her Gilly Bear or Gilly Bean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199523239435234790.post-24213891224200062482008-09-06T13:05:00.000-07:002008-09-06T13:05:00.000-07:00She'll always know when a stranger is calling.@ Gi...<I>She'll always know when a stranger is calling.</I><BR/><BR/>@ Gillian's-Mommy(or Daddy) - I love this perspective!

I never knew girls had a hard "G". It's a beautiful name either way. I grew up having to correct people all the time and as a friend told me - She'll always know when a stranger is calling.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199523239435234790.post-64812063879189751762008-08-08T05:35:00.000-07:002008-08-08T05:35:00.000-07:00i wouldn't think jillian because of the 'gill.' i...i wouldn't think jillian because of the 'gill.' i worked with a woman who complained her name was misspelled on a certificate (bonnie) instead of her spelling, 'bonny.' then i thought, "maybe she's spelling it wrong." somehow we generally agree on how words should be spelled (in relation to their meanings) but names... do anything you damn well please. i had a sister-in-law who was "angella" and then got ticked when people mispelled it. maybe if you're parents spelled it right instead of expecting people to read their minds, this wouldn't happen.<BR/><BR/>so anyway, i googled "bonny" and got 8m hits. i googled "bonnie" and got 57m. her parents spelled it wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
