Help[Opinions] Re: Ciaran
in reply to a message by Jacks
Ciaran is my absolute favorite boy's name right now! I really love it, and I love the spelling Ciaran instead of Kieran for several reasons: in general I prefer C names over K names, the K spelling is fairly popular, the C spelling is the original Gaelic, the C sort of honors my dad who's name is Colin which is also Gaelic and starts with a C.
1. Do you like the sound? ~ I love the sound!
2. What is your impression of it? What kind of assumptions would you make about someone with that name? ~ that they were Irish or their parents liked Irish names.
3. Do you think that a little boy named Ciaran would be teased? Especially with the popularity of Kiera? ~ not at all, Irish names are very popular and I don't usually think of Kiera when I see Ciaran. So especially if you spell it Ciaran the boy wouldn't be teased at all.
4. Do you think that the name Ciaran would age well? ~ perfectly, for reference see actor Ciaran Hinds who is now in his 50's and his name fits him perfectly! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001354/
5. Can you think of any drawbacks/negative associations? ~ not really, I suppose Kier does rhyme with tear, sear, peer, ect. Oh, and the name does mean 'black' or you could say 'dark haired'.
6. Can you think of any positive associations? ~ there were some 26 saints in Ireland with this name including St. Ciaran of Clonmacnoise who founded a monestary.
7. Does the combo Ciaran George Derry sound good? ~ Ciaran George sounds nice but I don't really like Derry very much. Ciaran James, Ciaran John, and Ciaran Robert also sound nice.
8. How does Ciaran fit in with Kiefer, Harrison, Liam? Are Kiefer & Ciaran too close? ~ yes, Ciaran and Kiefer are deffinately too close for brothers, but Ciaran seems to fit much better with Harrison and especially Liam! :)
