Copying questions Ciarda posed for Dharma :D
What are your honest opinions of the name
Ciaran /
Kieran? Which spelling do you prefer? I'm leaning towards
Ciaran so that its different than
Kiefer my other favourite, but I worry about how it would be pronounced. Thoughts?
1. Do you like the sound? (Sound only, despite connotations)?
2. What is your impression of it? What kind of assumptions would you make about someone with that name?
3. Do you think that a little boy named
Ciaran would be teased? Especially with the popularity of
Kiera?
4. Do you think that the name
Ciaran would age well (Regardless of the supposed "Irish" trend)?
5.
Can you think of any drawbacks/negative associations?
6.
Can you think of any positive associations?
7. Does the combo
Ciaran George Derry sound good? (Middle names must honour family). Other possibilities,
Richard,
John,
James,
Robert, suggestions?
8. How does
Ciaran fit in with
Kiefer,
Harrison,
Liam? Is
Kiefer &
Ciaran too close?
