About Jilly

Sweet and vintage, Jilly is a nickname of Jillian or Jill, perhaps most notably borne by British romance author, Jilly Cooper. Rarely used as a standalone name, unlike its sound-alikes Milly and Tilly, Jilly could make a fun choice, though some might find it a bit too close to jelly.

Pronounced JIL-ee.
