I've seen one or two 19th-century examples, but they were Scottish, so I assume they were alternatively-spelt hard-G Gilleans. Every single modern Gillian I've encountered has been female and pronounced with a soft G, and I definitely think of it as solely female.

Thanks! So it kind of is a "forgotten, historic" name? That would explain a lot.
