What do you think of Kyran for a boy?

I've taught quite a lot of Kyrans/Kyrons. Most pronounced as Kye-Rn. The MN name startle reflex strong as ever...

VenusClapTrap · 11/04/2023 09:26

It’s a nope from me

BitOutOfPractice · 11/04/2023 08:18

I know one spelled like that. He hates the spelling. I’d go with Kieran personally.

user1492757084 · 11/04/2023 08:16

Byron is much better.
Kiernan I also like.

What if Kyran marries a Karen or Kylie or a Kieran!

It's pronounced kai- ren. Like Byron.

That's what I thought. Still like Kiran (like Mirran) or Kieran better.

You mean the name said KEIR-run?

In which case spell it Ciaran (the original) or Kieran (the main alternative spelling).

I haven’t seen Kyran before (although I have Kyra) but anyway it will get mispronunciation and misspelling problems his whole life. Also spelt like like it’s close to the Kayden/Jayden school of naming which can attract negative reactions.

He will spend his entire life correcting the pronunciation from Kieron

No. It sounds made up

MrsRickAstley · 11/04/2023 05:52

I'm not sure I like it

PotKettel · 11/04/2023 05:51

no it’s daft and will be constantly mispronounced as Kirren.

savagelover · 11/04/2023 05:50

The Kyran I know is pronounced "Kieran"

inkworks273 · 11/04/2023 05:33

It's pronounced kai- ren. Like Byron.

Oh no then.

MaireadMcSweeney · 11/04/2023 05:42

Have you made it up? I've never heard it before. It looks like a misspelling of Kieran.

Kieran, please ! Kyran sounds like a wanky way of spelling a perfectly normal name.

MrsTerryPratchett · 11/04/2023 05:14

It is an accepted spelling but I much prefer the other versions.

MaireadMcSweeney · 11/04/2023 04:51

Kieran is much better

GBoucher · 11/04/2023 04:48

Do you mean Ciaran/Kieran? If so, I've never seen the name spelt Kyran. Kyran looks like it should be pronounced Kai-ren (rhymes with tyrant without the final t).

OhamIreally · 11/04/2023 04:47

Don't like it

Phoebo · 11/04/2023 04:21

Prefer Kiran or Kieran
