I have a Ciaran - but seems to be pretty unusual spelling in UK - everyone wants to spell it

Kieran

Scottish Gaelic would NOT be Kieron
The nearest Scottish equivalent would be Keir, I think.
I know it is derived from Gaelic but it's Irish Gaelic and hasn't been a traditional name in Scotland.

That would explain why my brother Keith is ei then, as its a scottish name...

so scottish gaelic would be Keiron?

LOL, I never get my ie ei the right way round. Perhaps should avoid that completely, would not want to get my own baby's name wrong!

I would prefer the Irish spelling, as I am of irish decent (father). I think it actually looks prettier too, but would not want to spell it inappropriately, not that we have decided on this name yet. But just in case.

I think it is usually Ciaran for Irish spelling, Kieran for anglicised (i before e) because Keir is a different name, (Scottish).
