How Jillian sounds
Jillian stretches over three syllables, which adds warmth and a sense of occasion. Jillian ends on a nasal sound, which gives it a warm, humming finish. Say Jillian out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. Jillian has slipped in U.S. birth records in recent years, a name that now reads as timeless rather than trendy. U.S. birth records list Jillian overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Jillian opens with a hissing, teeth-edge sound, such as S, Z, SH, CH or J, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under metal. Jillian is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Jillian can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. If fire is already strong in a chart, Jillian ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
In astrology a water-sounding name like Jillian is a close match for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and a supportive one for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Jillian is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
