Ciarán

[Eiris]

For a baby boy born today!
It’s the name the Met Office have given this storm. So what do you think?

Love it. And definitely keep the Irish spelling. People can just learn to spell it properly and not be ignorant. 🙂

Love it … think it’s gorgeous, yes a lot of people may mispronounce it but I’d take the risk it’s lovely

Love it. Keep that spelling too.

We have a chap in our family with this name, he's lovely and so is the name.

It would be a bit old mannish in Ireland but it's a lovely name and I'd keep the correct Irish spelling.

If the storm is as bad as they are saying and there is loss of life, would you still like to use the name?

It's such an ordinary name the storm won’t affect it, I don’t think.

It will if he asks why you chose that name. Then tells people.

Yes, love it!

Sorry. Reread the weather forecast and it’s looking like it could get vicious. Why do they give them names?

I like it.

Born in a storm - it’s a nice story.

Well the OP will obviously just say she liked it. By the time he is old enough to ask, it will be long forgotten,

I'd wait and see how the storm pans out first. Remember baby Katrina? I wonder how she feels about her name now. She must be an adult

I haven’t heard it pronounced correctly yet on the BBC so maybe consider that.

The name is keer awn not Kieran which is the anglicised version.

Gorgeous name but expect people to regularly omit the fada.

Nice is pronounced correctly!

Fadas are over rated.

Fadas are vital to pronunciation.

Do you want a Ciarán or a Kieran in your clann?

We have a young Ciarán in our family and he's gorgeous. He's also very excited a storm has been named after him

Lovely name

Are you living in Ireland ?

If not, I'd think on, as it will be be mispronounced continually, which, presuming you've chosen it this way rather than the other, similar and yet so very different name, I'm presuming you wouldn't want?

I love it

Congratulations on your new baby. I hope the birth went well. Ciaran is a beautiful name. Sorry, can't do the accent on here.

such a stupid thing to say.

like saying the letter P is overrated.

But p is great! Come to think of it Piran is a great name, and Perranzabuloe is fab. Went surfing there one summer.
