That's exactly how I used to say it, and now I'm mortified because how can Cillian/Killian possibly sound like Silly-uhn? Same with Ciaran. I had no idea how to pronounce that until recently. I guess all Irish names beginning with a C make a K sound?
I love the name Ciaran and Ciara.

I never got called anything other than my name growing up, except by MY OWN MOTHER. She'd call me by her sisters' names at times. It was usually Sandra, which at least starts with the same letter and is actually the Latin version of my Russian name, so I forgive her. Now her other two sisters' names don't make sense, so she obviously had a brain fart each time she called me their names. Probably got flashbacks of being a youth calling for her sisters.
