That was tough! I love both of those names. I voted for Gillian, because I love this spelling. If you had Jillian as a spelling, I probably would have picked Meredith. But you can't go wrong with either, in my view.

Too funny! I just read the PP and was coming here to post that I voted Merideth *because* it was spelled Gillian. If it has been spelled Jillian, that would have got my vote. I have a friend Gillian who is constanly called GILLian (with a hard G) or even worse Gilly, or Gills. No one seems able to pronounce her name correctly!

I think the name is adorable, but prefer the easier spelling of Jillian.

I know some people do get it wrong, but I love the original spelling of the name. Jillian just seems to modern an adaptation.

I voted for Meredith as I think it's completely lovely and I dislike Gillian with *either* spelling. It just seems less pretty, more matter of fact.
