Kylian

Really like this spelling variation of Cillian or Killian! I’d never seen it before it popped up as #1 in the baby boys list on the main site. I’d have some concerns about it being pronounced with an eye sound like Rylie but I love the way it looks.

What do you think of Kylian?

Also, for good measure, which do you like?

[name_m]Kylian[/name_m] Mbappé is my only association with this spelling, and I would assume a young Kylian’s parents were inspired by him. Not necessarily a bad thing (that I know of), but living namesakes always make me a little nervous.

[name_u]Killian[/name_u] is my personal fave, or [name_m]Cillian[/name_m], but [name_m]Kylian[/name_m] feels fresh and interesting too

I prefer [name_m]Cillian[/name_m]. I know [name_m]Kylian[/name_m] is a legit spelling, but all I see is the trend of using “K” instead of “C” and adding random “Ys” to names.

[name_u]Killian[/name_u] is my favorite

[name_m]Cillian[/name_m] reminds me of a STD

I’d have to say [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] because of the word kill. I read that [name_m]Kylian[/name_m] is more like KEE-lee-un.

[name_m]Kylian[/name_m] is too Mbappe for me. [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] is pretty [name_u]Murphy[/name_u] too but I know it’s a legit classic spelling whereas [name_m]Kylian[/name_m] feels more trendy. [name_u]Killian[/name_u] would probably be my pick if it wasn’t for the word Kill jumping out at me which puts me off. I like the sound of the name but I’ve no strong leaning to any of the spellings.
