Neither.

Write them as Cian or Ciaran, and you will get more positive comments

Still Kieran.

Neither they’re both awful

Not particularly keen on Kieran, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Keane is a surname.

Are you the same poster asking between Kaden and Kieran this morning ?

Kieran !!

Neither 🤷‍♀️

Kieran. I know one but he’s always called Ron.

Keane is a surname! It's not a first name.

Kieran between the 2. I knew a Keane once and he was always subject to the desperately amusing "are you keen, Keane?" Or "I'm so keen on Keane" puns.

Kieran.

Keane is ok, knew one years ago, he'd be 50 odd now. Are you pronouncing it like ian with a K, ie, kee-an?

If not, I think of ''keen'' which is a bit uncool for a name!

a nn for Kieran could be Kier/keer and I just prefer that.
