Kyran

[inkworks273]

What do you think of Kyran for a boy?

It's pronounced kai- ren. Like Byron.

My neighbour's grandson who is ... mid 20s now, that's his name ("Kai run"). It's Fine by me. People will get used to it.

Friend has a son called something like Kirran, it's Indian not meant to be said same as Kieron. I can't for life of me hear the difference but it's obvious to friend. Kyran is definitely possible to hear as distinct from Kieron/Kirran, at least.

I like it, it's different

If you like it use it. To me it sounds a bit chavtastic. But luckily everyone is different.

As its not obvious how to pronounce it, it will likely cause your son unnecessary irritation

Agree that its a marmite name. It's not a name I like, but given the popularity of similar names (Kieran through to Kayden) there will be a good number of people who will like it. Either way, you and he will need to resign yourselves to a lifetime of misspellings and misprounciations, although that is the case with many names (DD and I bother suffer from this).

I really don’t like it. It also reminds me of the little boy who disappeared, Kyron Horman.

DS has a Kyran in his class - people read it and assume it's 'Kier-an' so he's always having to correct people's pronunciation and spelling of his name.

Personally I wouldn't use a name that the kid will always have to be correcting and spelling out for people.

I really like Kieran or Kier though.

I know a couple of people with this name pronounced how you have said. I like it and it's spelt how it sounds so no issues in that respect

No, it's awful. It sounds like a muddled Karen and Kieren and Bryan.

A snooker fan would know how it's pronounced 😉 I quite like it, there's at least 2 in school. It's not that uncommon.

The OP didn’t make it up. I know one.

This is my friends little boys name and I love it! I think it sounds lovely too ❤️

Bad.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I'm surprised so many people hate it so much. Glad to see some people who know one in real life like it

Not my cup of tea. You'll also be consigning yourself and your child to a lifetime of always having to explain and correct.

I'd say don't.

I agree
Why do people want to make up weird names?
My sister did that with one of hers.....
whenever they went anywhere and she wanted a pencil/keyring with her name on there wasn't one, she's 19
Now and has actually changed her name as it was so ridiculous!

It’s awful. I would reconsider.

It will be pronounced/mistaken for Kieran all the time. Are you trying to make up a longer name to get Kai from as a nickname?

No .

Meant to add, if you are trying to get nn Kai people might be able to come up with other suggestions eg Malachi/Mordecai?

I know a few Kierans and Kirans. Kyran looks like a misspelling. Kai/Cai is ok
(ish)

🤣 Didn't want to say it but... yeah.

Dislike it. Sounds made up and a bit naff to me.

Quite nice but I would get it mixed up with Kieran. I wouldn’t know how to pronounce it unless I was told.

Byron is cool. Kyron will get said as Kieran a lot I think
