    Jill can be the long form of Jillian/Gillian, but if you want to, you
    can use just Jill.  I used to have a friend named just Jill.  (I rather
    like just Jill.)
    
    Middle names for Jill:
    
    Jill Marie
    Jill Suzanne
    Jill Janine (at the risk of being nicknamed J.J.)
    
    In other words...the best middle names to put in the middle of
    Jill...Fleming would be a 2 syllable name with the accent on the second
    part.  Of course, this is only a suggestion... ;^)

    I suppose that Jill could be a nickname for Jillian.  I've never
    heard it as a nickname or shortened version of Julia - that's strange.
    My sister-in-law's name is, plain and simple, Jill.   So, I don't
    think you need a long version, per se.  However, it does seem difficult
    to find a middle name for Jill and easier to find one for Jillian.
    
    Some suggestions might be:
    Jillian Rae Fleming
    Jillian Beth
    Jillian Christine
    Jill Alexandra
    Jill Courtney
    Jill Marie 
    
    (Jillian Rae is my favorite)
    
    good luck,

    I like Jill Marie.  I think it's a very pretty, feminine name.

    I like Jillian.  Jill and Jilli could be the shorter version.  That way 
    as she grows up, she can have the versatility of using which she
    prefers most for a particular situation.  Sometimes I go by Tina and 
    other times I prefer my full name which is Christina.  My family calls me 
    both.    
    
    My friends daughter is Jillian Rose.  She is called Jillian, Jill,
    Jilli and sometimes even "Jillybean"!!!  by her brother!
    She loves all of them and depending on her mood,,  she let's you know 
    what she wants to be called that day.
    
    

    I like Jillian too, for the same reasons as note .4.  
    
    Some that I think sound good 
    
    Jillian Marie Fleming (my favorite)
    Jill Parker Fleming (I know someone named Jill Parker Stevenson)
    Jillian Lee    (may be too many l's)
    
    
    Good Luck!

    My mother's name is Jill Ilene....
    If you are going with just the name Jill you may want to think about a
    middle name that begins with a vowel instead of a middle name beginning
    with a consonant....
    Vowels to begin names that follow names ending in L tend to flow better
    when speaking them.
    
    Just a thought...

    Male	Female

    Jules	Julia
    Julian	Jillian
    
    But all are related.  If you like Jill, use it as is ... no need to
    use the long form these days!

    
    I like Jillian, but also like Jill.  How about using your name as
    a middle name... Jill Anne?

    You've hit a warm spot for me. My sister is
    Jill Carolyn

    I agree with Carol...  Jillian Rae is beautiful.
    
    Congratulations and good luck.  You'll love having a little girl!

- My name is Jill Renee' and I've always loved it.  Sounds close to Jillian Rae,
  if you like that name but would rather have (just?) Jill.

    Hi,
    
    Only 9 weeks to go!  Thanks for all your responses.  I think we have it
    narrowed down to Jillian Elizabeth Fleming or Samantha Anne.  
    
    Anne

    
    
    	RE: Jillian Elizabeth
    
    	I like the sound of it, but the initials will spell JEF
    	(jeff).  Not a big deal to me but... just thought I'd
    	mention it.
    
    	/Kim ...who likes Samantha more anyway. (;
