Kyran

[inkworks273]

What do you think of Kyran for a boy?

Names starting with K are generally not very popular here. (The Kardashian effect maybe) There are some exceptions like Katie or Kit.

I HATE the word chavvy. But sometimes there’s no other word. It just IS chavvy!

I know two Kyrans, 15 and 12. Never had any issues with people pronouncing it as Kieran!

Kai - ren

I know two and I hate it.

I know of two. Neither seem to have problems with people not being able to pronounce. I don't love it or hate it.

Sounds like one of them made up American names I don't like it

I like the name but am not a big fan of names where they will be subjected to a lifetime of having their name spelled incorrectly or constantly having to spell it out. I have worked with a Kaaren (pronounced Karen) and a Marc, it was painful hearing them spelling out all the time

Thanks. I was surprised that so many on here thought I meant Kieran. It didn't even occur to me that people may mispronounce it.

@inkworks273 it's because people are thick.

As soon as I saw the title I read it as it is pronounced. It's a lovely name if you like it go for it

No to Kyran from me

Thank you

This is our second boy and we're really struggling to find a name we like. Kyran is one of the only names we both agree on.

I know a Kyran who pronounces his name as Kieran. I'll email him now and let him know he's a thicko.

🤣

@MurderAtTheBeautyPageant of course you do 👌🏼

oh, sweetheart, try not to get so tetchy. if I was looking for something to fib about on MN I'd pick something more scintillating than this name.

🤣

Has no one heard of Kyran Bracken, the rugby player? Serious heartthrob when I was younger!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyran_Bracken

Always pronounced Kirran as far as I knew

The only Kyran I can think of is Kyran Bracken the former England rugby union player.

I like it.

@MrsMoastyToasty snap!

It’s because Kieran is a common/established name but most people will have never come across Kyran so will relate it to a name they do know. Also there’s no real phonetic reason for it to be pronounced one way or the other.
