We wouldn't spell it Ciaran (have absolutely no connection to Ireland - people would struggle with the spelling!)

Kieran or Noah?

Noah.

(Kieran is Mr Katie Price).

BernardBlacksHangover · 26/10/2017 09:55

Keir is gorgeous!

pipilangstrumpf · 26/10/2017 07:45

I find Kieran much stronger and more masculine than Kier.

dotdotdotmustdash · 26/10/2017 00:52

Just Keir rather than Keiran.

I actually know a couple of Kieran's (thinking of it, they're not very bright, so I might just have bad incarnations). I know Noah is supposed to be more common, but I don't know any personally and I always thought it had a really nice ring.

Kieran.

Noah is boring.

Noah

Buntysoven · 24/10/2017 00:40

Kieran. I prefer the sound.

Kieran. It was nice in the 80s. Kiran is a popular unisex Indian name.
Bored of Noah.

longestlurkerever · 23/10/2017 19:18

I love Kieran and Kier.

mintich · 23/10/2017 19:16

Noah

3littlebadgers · 23/10/2017 19:12

Another for kieran. I know too many spoilt little Noahs

Tilapia · 23/10/2017 19:08

Kieran

Loveisthelaw · 23/10/2017 19:07

Love Kieran. Would have used it but I have an in-law Ciaran now.

pipilangstrumpf · 23/10/2017 18:14

I also dislike the sound of No-ah, it sounds like a whiny No

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 23/10/2017 18:09

Noah

pipilangstrumpf · 23/10/2017 18:09

Noah is way overused and may well start to sound dated soon.

So Kieran if I have to choose

youarenotkiddingme · 23/10/2017 17:46

I like both.

I teach a Kieran and he is fab! Lovely personality and very funny!

alittlebitoflove · 23/10/2017 17:43

Kieran

llangennith · 23/10/2017 17:34

Noah is way too common.

Foniks · 23/10/2017 17:18

They're both nice names, but I say Kieran just because I hear Noah so much it's annoying now. It's everywhere, even the girls version is becoming very very popular. Apparently Oliver was the #1 name in 2017 ONS, but hear Noah at least a trillion times more often than Oliver for some reason.

BernardBlacksHangover · 23/10/2017 17:10

Noah. Yes, it's everywhere, but it's still a nice name. Dislike Kieran. How about Cillian or Cian?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/10/2017 17:04

Noah.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/10/2017 13:12

Kieran, but do prefer Ciaran
If I hear of another Noah, I'll scream

mrspatel77 · 23/10/2017 13:02

I vote for Keiron but it is my OH name so I am biased x
