Gillian Jacobs on Her Name

Gillian Jacobs on Her Name

Gillian explains why her name is pronounced in an unusual way and she talks about her funny grandfather DodoBirdie: My daughter has the same problem, as she is also named Gillian. But we pronounce it Jill-y-in. Because that is the original pronunciation. No offense to her. Apparently her mother decided she wanted to make a mispronunciation the correct pronunciation in her case, which is allowed, I guess, but it's weird and messed up to do that to your kid.
And it's possibly also maybe why everyone wants to say my daughter's name incorrectly as gill-y-in.
It's like no one is even aware of Gillian Anderson, or other Gillians who use the original pronunciation (btw, using a G is also the original spelling of the name. The J version came about very recently. Before the 60's/70's, it was always spelled with a G, way back hundreds of years. Just in case people wonder why even use a G? That's why)
Again, not dissing it, but it's definitely an alternate pronunciation, not the default. I feel bad for her.

How is that a problem? The name that starts with G sounds like a G. The name that stars with a J sounds like a J.

If I name my kid Fred but pronounced Gred is everyone else wrong for saying Fred? No. Your mom's wrong.
