Christian, Cían, Ciar

[casey101]

Hi guys
Which do you like best out of the above? I really lke Christian but was thinking bit hard to spell and pronounce. Was thinking about putting Christian on birth certificate then everyday nickname of Cian or Ciar. What do you think and which do you prefer? Thank you!

Mmmm, pity but I think that's too close to have what is essentially the same name.
What's your next favourite letter?

LMAO re George Foreman!

I like K names. I don't nec like F names but I quite like Finn.

Okay, so there are no Irish K names as we have no letter K.
Except anglicised versions of the C ones like Kieran for Ciaran.
Any more letters that appeal?

I also quite like Zachary/ Zac!

But I know thats not Irish! Quite like s names

I love the name Caoimhe for a girl is there a male version of that apart from the one that sounds like Kevin? :D

Zachary/ Zac/ Zach is great.

Caoimhín. Irish for Kevin. Pronounced KWEE-veen.

Thank you you are being v helpful! What do you think of Caoimhin? Am guessing no one outside of Ireland would be able to spell it!

Also what do you think about Finn? And how would you pronounce Cian- sorry for all the questions!

I like Caoimhín but I prefer the feminine version, plus I agree that it'll possibly present problems outside of Ireland. It's definitely trickier than Christian! (I think people anywhere would manage Christian.)
Irish boys' names that are simple to pronounce and recognisably masculine would include Ronan, Brendan, Fintan, Finbar, Finn, Conor, Conn, Colman, Enda, Fergus, Lorcan, Sean, Senan.

Finn's v nice. Cian also lovely and pronounced KEE-yan.

OP I expect you've considered these 'C' names, but just in case:

Cabhan (Cavan)
Cathal (Ka-hal)
Calatin
Cillian
Caradoc (now Welsh, originally ancient British)
Carrig/Carraig (Scottish - but all part of the same language family)
Cluny "
Clyde "
Corran "

A different - Scottish - nickname for Christian might be 'Christie'.

I have a Christian, who gets shortened to Chris (which I don't like, but it's his name/his choice). What I dislike even more is that it gets lengthened back to Christopher by people who don't know his Sunday name e.g. his music teacher

Cian is pronounced Kee-An

But more like Keen generally..

how about

Keir
Keane
Caleb
Cadel

Thanks everyone. I did think about Christie Flora but thought ppl might think i was calling him christine! I prob cant have christian thinking about it as my ex bf was called chris and i dont want christian to be shortened to that. I will have a think on different letters and maybe post a new thread! :)

I've lost track of which or your posts I've been on and what has been suggested, but have you considered:

Cairn
Calder
Cormac
Cailean
Carrick

Corin
Grady

Thank you both I think I'm going to start another thread :)

Carwyn

Or maybe

Keir
