Hello! Smile

Are Caden and Ciaran too similar?

I hope not...

Thank you x

Too similar to my ear.

I think they're too similar.

I know someone who has a Caden and a Ciaran. It's never occurred to me that they're too similar tbh.

Definitely too similar.

Too similar.

I don't like that combo. The sounds are too similar.

Aidan and Ciaran works though

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/02/2017 22:01

Too similar.

EightiethElement · 24/02/2017 22:05

Dare I say it, any consonant + Aidan doesn't sound good.
Just stick with Aidan as Ciaran is a classic gaelic name and if you do Zaydan or Vadan with something as solid sounding as Ciaran it just sounds a mixture of styles

That's rude Hmm I already have a Caden. We are considering Ciaran...

Caden is a name inspired by my great-grandmother Cadence.

Too similar.

omnishamblesssssssssssssss · 24/02/2017 22:15

Cadan and Liam or Declan

omnishamblesssssssssssssss · 24/02/2017 22:18

Leon could go. Or Owen or Ethan

Cheesecake53 · 24/02/2017 22:29

I also know someone who has a Caden and a Ciaran. If you like it, then definitely go for it!!

chatnanny · 24/02/2017 23:00

Although I know Ciaran is the classic spelling could you spell it Kieran so they at least have different initials?

Way too similar for me, not just in sound but visually as well.
