Are there any Cornish MNetters out there? How popular is Piran?

[proxystix]

DH is quite keen on Piran ATM but I've always thought of it as being one of the most popular Cornish names. We don't have any other DC and none of our friends have children, so I have no idea if he would end up being one of eight other Piran's in his class, or if it would just be a nice, unusual Cornish name.
Anyone living in Kernow got any thoughts?

hey i live in cornwall born and bread lol but have no idea for cornish name i would just tap into google cornish baby names it will give you a good list of sites for what you want hope that helps

I'm from Cornwall and I've never heard of a Piran before, although I'm not overally keen on Cornish names anyway...good luck deciding

The only Cornish name I like for a boy is Ennor. Piran's alright, but I can't stand names like Jago and Mungo.

How is it pronounced?

We know one Piran but we are in London.

There was a thread a few weeks back about Cornish baby names, did you see it?

I don't know any Pirans in Cornwall (or London). I think Jago is the most used Cornish boys name at the moment. I like that too though.

Go for Piran, he'll think he has a whole saints day dedicated to him!

I know a Perran, of Cornish stock - but I'm fairly sure it's spelled Perran not Piran (or are there two separate names?).

Piran is the saint
