Gillian has been the default spelling since the Middle Ages, no doubt because people then thought it looked better! And it's not as if gin and giblets are confusing people because they don't start with a j.

I like Gillian enough to use, and Jillian not at all. I do enjoy Jill as an independent name, but not enough to use it.And I was at school with, I think, three Gillian people and one Jillian, and nobody turned a hair.
