What do you all think of the male name Emilian?
The scans say I am having a girl but i want a boy's name just in case.
I am really liking Emil at the moment and also Emilian, the only problem I can see with it is it looks a little and sounds a little like Emily-Anne. What do you all think?
Thanks :)

I prefer Emilio

Emilian seems too long, but what about just Milian? Or Julian?

I don't like it, it looks like either Emilia with an N or Emiliana without the A. It also reminds me of chameleon as well.

I really like the name Emilian. Even if it does sound like Emily An, I still like it. My name, as you can see, is Tanian==sounds like Tani An, but people know its Tanian. Good Luck though!

To me, it sounds just like "a million" which is a bit odd. I do love Emiliana for a girl.

I like Emilian but then I like a lot of names ending with ian, Julian Adrian and so on
I dont think it sounds like Emily Ann, I pronounce it sort of like Eh mee lee un not Em i lee ahn, but I am probably pronouncing it wrong

It makes me think of a chameleon ...(m)

I like Emilia for a girl, and I LOVE Emil / Emile for a boy (my 10-year-old nephew has a friend named Emil, prn. eh-MEEL). I don't care for the sound or look of Emilian, though, sorry. Good luck!

"chameleon" *LOL*

I actually like Emiliano. My mother's family is of Hispanic heritage, and when we were pregnant with Scarlett we argued about a boy's name. I liked Emiliano because it sounds like Lillian! So, of course, does Gideon, which we eventually DID use for our second son. We never thought about Emilian. Overlooked it, I guess.

I really like the name Emil, and Emilian. I don't think it sounds like Emily-Anne at all but maybe that's just the way I'm pronouncing it, "Eh-meel-ee-an" :-)
