Is this girl's name too blah?

Question

I love the name Jill. My husband is on the fence. (Neither one of us like Jillian)

What do you think of when you hear it? Is it too plain/outdated for a little girl? Also what are some middle names?

Answer 1

Jill is okay, Jillian is adorable!

I would go for something else, maybe use it as a middle name?

Answer 2

Well, i'm a young person/adult myself and it reminds me of an old type of name. However for this generation that it is now, it could be "in fashion" as old names for young children seem to be coming back in.

I think if you thought of a good middle name to go with it, it would be quite nice, unique and not too plain.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

I like it! Who cares what other people think? As long as you like it that's all that matters. I think it is really cute.. just don't name a son Jack!

Answer 4

Not at all! I agree with you; I dislike Jillian also. But Jill is nice and cute for a little girl and an adult. Good luck! :o)

Answer 5

i dont like it. jack and jill went up the hill? sounds like an old secretary no offense. or jill from home improvement.  

Answer 6

its waay to plain. if i had a daughter i would name her Camren.

middle names- name her after your grandma or mom. if u dont want to, i like the names maria, kira, or jordin.

Answer 7

I like it!  It doesn't get overused, it's doesn't sound old like Emma or Emily.  Use a last name like Bryant, or something unusual and sort of masculine for a middle name.  How does your maiden name sound with it? or Mary?

Answer 8

I think its adorable and i love it, its not too plain, Jill is a great name, and you could spice it up with a fancy middle name liek

Jill Angelina

Jill Nicole

Jill Charlotte

Jill Nevaeh

Jill Noel

Jill Victoria

Jill Vanessa

Answer 9

I still prefer Jillian, i am not a big fan of jill.

Answer 10

I say if you like it go for it!!

I like Jill Elizabeth, its kinda hard for middle names....but thats what i could think of at the moment:)

Answer 11

I love it, no I don't think it's too plain/outdated.  Those sorts of names are making a massive comeback, although Jill I don't think is too popular anywhere right now, which is great.  Name your daughter Jill - I'm sure you'll hear of someone you know following in your footsteps!!

Jill reminds me of a cute little girl with a strong outgoing personality :)

Jill Sophia

Jill Elizabeth

Answer 19

I think names have to be really old to be reborn and work , Jill makes me think of the middle aged women who lived next door when i was a kid!

Answer 20

Every Jill I have ever known has been a wonderful person! The name is far from plain........

Answer 21

If you like Jill go for it,

I like it.

I personally think Jillie is a cute nickname. (If that would be a nickname)

And a funny Jill story:

My neighbors(married) are Jack and Jill.  Isn't that just adorable?

Answer 22

I love the name Jill.

You could be modern and spell it "Jyl".

I knew a girl once named Jill Christine. I thought it was such a nice name. I used the Christine part as a middle name for my own daughter.

Answer 23

your answer is in the fact that you are asking.  use it for her middle name.  

Answer 24

I really don't like the name Jill.  It might be because of association but it just doesn't leave a pretty picture in my mind.

Answer 25

boring outdated

How about Lilly Marie or Lily Mae

Yes, i think it's a little outdated & plain.

Lily is a nice alternative though

Good Luck [:

Answer 28

Be a little more modern and creative. Why don't you have a son after her and name him Jack?
