My son's name didn't exist on the baby name finder here so i added it yesterday and it appears as the name of the day today !!

We have sort of made it up but not really.....I liked Keir or Kerr, OH liked Ciaran. Ciaran means the little dark one and we didn't think he would be little so we took the "an" bit which is the "little" bit and kept the Ciar - pronounced exactly the same way as Keir so everybody happy. :o)

lisaro, what a nasty thing to say to someone about their baby's name

johnnycomelurky · 13/06/2012 21:06

Sorry, not sure why link didn't work Blush It is a Gaelic name and not "made up". I think maybe OP meant she added it to MN baby names as it wasn't on there yet.

Not made up at all! meaning of Ciar

Sirzy · 13/06/2012 21:01

Ok the modern ones people use. I can think of very few made up names in recent years which I like.

Sirzy where do you imagine the vast majority of names came from? Names have been invented and adapted since the beginning of time.

planetpotty · 13/06/2012 20:45

Oh bloody hell right

  1. It's not awful
  2. OP forget you ever posted and hide this thread now.

That's my advice - take it and go enjoy your new little boy without being upset by strangers on MN Smile

Making up names/changing spellings to something bizzare rarely makes a decent name IMO but if your happy with it thats all that matters.

EmpireBiscuit · 13/06/2012 20:39

He's called Keir but spelt Ciar?

lisaro · 13/06/2012 20:38

What do you want OP? You didn't ask a question or even make a point yet somebody still commented. Don't be so snitty. And FWIW the 'name' is awful.

I think what nizlopi means is that she doesn't like the name very much. I'm not keen either, but I'm glad you and your partner are - that's all that matters really.

what do you mean by that nizlopi?

What we have done is go back to the original name rather than the diminutive.

he also turned out to be blond but hey ho!

Well, I suppose if you've already named your son that the deed is done.
