Personal experiences with the name Killian: | Edit

my 17 month old daughter is killian jack she is a twin and her sisters name is lily. i love the name, and it is special to me for personal reasons and someday i hope she will understand how special she and her name are.

When his daddy chose it, it was because of its strong irish sound, paired with sebastian you can't go wrong on knowing that kids heritage, hahaha, but a lot of people think he is named for the beer rather than that!

i just recently met someone whose name is Killian. It seemed odd to me at first because my mom's side of the family's last name is Killian. I think it's an interesting name, but beware--people will automatically think of the beer!

I love the name Killian.
