A scientific -linguistic analysis of your name
History
Taken from the underworld slang for "Stop kicking me to death, I left the money with friends" as the baleful influence of Halley's Comet was felt sharply among those distracted from their dangerous work to stare at the sky, the name Jyllian was originally used sotto voce to refer to warriors who died during drill practice, before reinventing itself after an unfortunate court case.
Famous Jyllians
1. Jyllian Sprokes, BA ("The Uncanny"), haunted by an image of Elvis impersonator impersonators;
2. Jyllian Endeavour-Frote ("The Reasonably Broadly Educated"), for a time, in their own mind, romantically linked with the lost consonant of Atlatis;
3. Jyllian Nootlooter ("The Suspicious"), co-writer of INDIANA JONES AND THE LESS THAN CONVINCING CHANGE OF LOCATION; ghost-writer of The St Winifred's School Choir's agonisingly graphic autobiography, I'M FEELING QUEASY, GEOFFREY;
4. Professor Jyllian R Macaulay, BSc, RN, director of the new Bond movie, SINISTER DEATH;
5. Jyllian Dots-Dindymene, reputedly trapped for twenty-two days under a fallen monument to several of the more violent gypsy curses;
6. Jyllian Nivea-Oaf, populariser of Mr Bronson from Grange Hill;
7. Jyllian Staplegun, BA, champion of mottled glass;
8. Jyllian Marl, fascinated to death by those funny pirate hats; ghost-writer of Richard Stilgoe's offensively illustrated autobiography, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM;
9. Jyllian Smmith-Oily, aroused by various messiahs later purchased by major world religions; ghost-writer of Punchy Massive's deeply upsetting autobiography, SOMEBODY PUNCH MY FACE - I MUST BE DREAMING; first holder of the nepotistically awarded office of King High Wizard Of Ipswich;
10. Jyllian Trabmaw, belittler of static electricity.
Typical Jyllian motto
"Ducks come from duck's eggs, as do drakes, though I suppose technically both are ducklings at that point."
