[Opinions] Kielan
I had a customer at work the other day who's surname was Kielan.
I loved it from the first second, as a FN or MN though. I guess it's a variant of Keelan / Kelan ? I think I prefer the Kielan spelling though since it's closer to Kieran which I also love.What do you think? Any combo (FN/MN) suggestions?

The double e of Keelan looks so childish to me. And I wouldn't think to pronounce Kelan the same way. But Kielan is kind of interesting. I wouldn't use it myself, but I don't mind it either. Not sure if I like how close it is to the feminine Keely, though.

Interesting. Keelan looks more natural but Kielan isn't bad. The only problem with Kielan is that this spelling makes the name sound like an 'Engrish' pronunciation of Kieran to me. I think I like it in general though.Kielan Everett

Kielan Damien

I love Kielan Elliot, but wouldn't be able to use it. I also love Kielan James, and I like Kielan Gabriel & Kielan Atticus. Thanks.

I prefer Kieran, as "KEE-lin" sounds too much like "keelin' over". This spelling helps prevent that.

It wouldn't be a problem where I live though :)
