KIERAN

[MaryGrace17]

What do you think about the name Kieran for a boy?

I like it but don't love it

On a par with things like Nathan, Aidan, Callum, Ryan etc and feels a bit dated (80s/90s) but nothing wrong with if

Great choice

Love it

Very 90s. So a bit dated. Bit like Liam or Aaron or Chris. Nice enough names but not really used now - there’s definitely better ones.

I do not like that spelling, but do like the name.

It’s ok…..I don’t love it but it doesn’t offend me! Seems like a funny name for a baby but I guess all the middle aged ones must have been a baby at some time!

That was my Grandad’s name - I’ve always loved it.

It’s alright. Prefer the original Ciaran spelling

Ciaran.

Meh

Not keen on Kieran, I know of one and he's an idiot.
I do like Kier though.

I love it. Like the way it sounds.

Massively 90s tho

The nicest young man in the world is called Kieran (DS's best friend and even nicer than DS) so yes I think its a great name. They were both born in 1995 though if that dates it.

I'm married to a Kieran and although I despise him most of the time, I absolutely love his name and the way it sounds.

My partner, his dad, our next door neighbor and about 5 others in our street are called kieran or Ciaran(the irish spelling). So it's pretty common for 25+ year old but I haven't heard any younger. I now know a few kids called kierany though.
We live in N.Ireland.

I don't mind it, but much prefer the Ciaran spelling.

I love it with the Ciaran spelling.

Love it. Lovely name. Unusual enough that there probably won't be another in his class at school, but not so unusual that people don't recognize it. All the Kierans I know are really wonderful people too.

Makes me think of shell suits and Kevin Keegan perms. Very dated.

Prefer Keri, although I think they've both been caught in the unfortunate K name thing, Kayden, Kaylen, Kai, etc.

Love the name and my preference for spelling is Kieran.

Love the name but not the K spelling much prefer Ciaran. However I'm west of Scotland so Ciaran spelling is very common here.

I love it. I often wish I had chosen it for ds2. It has such a nice sound to it.

Dated. 1970s name

If you like it use it.

I like it. Ciaran spelling is more timeless but nonetheless I do prefer Kieran. Kie is a cute abbreviation.
