Answer 4

I think I would say Gilian rather that Julian if it's a surname.

In other words, phonetically I think the first phoneme should be /g/ rather than a /dz/.

The thing about names though is that people can pronounce them however they want to so you don't really know until you ask them.

I once knew someone whose surname was Pettit.  I would pronounce his name "Petty" because it looks like the French.  Or if I was was going to say all the letters I would say "Petit".  But in actual fact he pronounced his name "Pedid" "because he replaced the /t/ with /d/ as they often do in the American accent.  All this just goes to show that you never can tell how to pronounce a name until you ask.
