I like Ciar

tissuesosoft · 27/03/2017 21:20

OP, how comes Kieran is very wrong?

BillyButtfuck · 27/03/2017 21:30

Cian!

Kazzawazza69 · 27/03/2017 21:52

Cian

shitgibbon · 27/03/2017 21:57

You could have both. Ciaran with nn Cian.

ElspethFlashman · 27/03/2017 21:58

Cian. More modern.

ZilphasHatpin · 27/03/2017 21:59

Cian.

Every Ciaran I know is an arsehole and I know lots of them.

ZilphasHatpin · 27/03/2017 21:59

Even the Kierans are arseholes.

DramaAlpaca · 27/03/2017 22:00

I like both, but I'd choose Cian.

CashelGirl · 27/03/2017 22:01

Cian! My brother is a 40 year old Cian. Live that it has had a surge in popularity.

MrsDustyBusty · 27/03/2017 22:03

You could have both. Ciaran with nn Cian.

Why would you call a child one name to give them a nickname of a different name? That's like Joseph nn Norman.

MaudGonneMad · 27/03/2017 22:04

Is it Ciaran (pronounced Kieran) or Ciarán (pronounced Kier-awn)?

MitzyLeFrouf · 27/03/2017 22:07

Cian.

Ciaran is a bit dated.

user1483387154 · 27/03/2017 22:08

Cian

Garnethair · 27/03/2017 22:11

I wouldn't have a clue how to pronounce Cian. Is it 'Chan'?

MitzyLeFrouf · 27/03/2017 22:13

It's pronounced kee-un

Peanut14 · 27/03/2017 22:16

Love Cian, it has definitely become very popular the past few years.

I like Ciarán too. It is dated but I do think it will become popular again like Liam etc.

What about Cillian?

heateallthebuns · 27/03/2017 22:20

Both nice!
