I knew a Keyaan, he was a sweet little boy, his brother was Keyvan.

Very nice name and goes well with siblings.

A lovely name and flows nicely with sibling names!

What about Zafar? One of my all time fave names.

ChagSameachDoreen · 11/07/2022 19:04

Nice! I really like it.

Scirocco · 11/07/2022 19:04

I know too many old men named zafar can't imagine it on a baby. It may be due a comeback soon.
I'm glad it's liked I was worried that as his dB is named zaviyar it wouldn't go as its quite cute whereas zaviyar is a bit posher sounding..to me anyway

I love your other names, but I don’t think this one translates well, as it sounds to much like Kayden, Kai etc, these names do not have a good rep.

It is a fairly usual name in my multi cultural City.
Really doesn't sound like any of the other names you are trying to link it with.

That's what I was I thinking thay it doesn't go very well but then again, they're their own people and don't have to match

It doesn’t go with your other children’s names sounds Irish to me sorry

It's not pronounced the same as Kian.
But yes I get that it doesn't go but does it have to?

How is it pronounced OP? Love your other children's names!

mocktail · 12/07/2022 12:31

I've never seen it before and assumed it was an alternative spelling of Kian. I like it better knowing it's a real name!

I'm guessing from your other children's names that you don't mind that a lot of people will have some difficulty in spelling and pronouncing it Smile

teatowelsneedawash · 12/07/2022 12:44

I really like your existing names but agree keyaan sounds similar to a lot of non-Iranian names that have been tarred by the chav-brush. I don't mind it but do you have any alternatives?

Marynotsocontrary · 12/07/2022 13:03

It's not pronounced the same as Kian.

How is it pronounced?

Yodaisawally · 12/07/2022 13:28

It looks like a 'unique' spelling of Kian to me but only because I had never heard / seen it before.

How is it pronounced?

mocktail · 12/07/2022 13:42

Is it pronounced like the first two syllables of Keanu? <swoon>

Irishfarmer · 12/07/2022 16:32

I did immediately pronounce is as Kian, if that isn't how it's pronounced how is it?

Vampirenotangel · 12/07/2022 17:47

Pronounced as its spelt. Key-ahn...its a double A.
And no I don't mind having to tell people how to spell they're not English names and neither is mine so I'm used to it

Lovely name op, however I would have initially thought Kian too.
