No middle names yet. Im open to suggestions though. She will be called Jill or Jilly. But if we went with Gillian would it be weird to call her Jill with a J?

This is one of the few names where I really like both spellings a lot! I voted for Jillian though, partly for the reason you brought up-I think it lends itself to Jill as a nn... as for mn's I like:

Jillian Rachel

Jillian Danielle

Jillian Maura

Jillian Caroline

good luck!

While I do like Gillian too I voted Jillian...because that is my cousins name and she went by Jilly when she was little and Jill now as well as Jillian...and if you shorten Gillian...you get Gill and that just isn't the same :) If you plan to never use a nickname then Gillian might be way to go but you will get those who think it is Gill-ee-an when they see it on paper...lol. Also I have heard people related Gillian spelling to Gilligan (it is only one letter added)
