How about "non-Caucasian/American" parents. Is that OK with you, that some people are from different cultures?

Key-un. That is what I thought first. Boy, I kind of like it and I generally don't like unusual names.

Like Cayenne like pepper

And boy

I know a Kiyan which is pronounced Kee-anne, a boy. I think it was middle eastern. Your name I'd pronounce like Cayenne and guess its a boy.

So for Cayenne, you would assume girl b/c of the spelling?

NP but yes, I'd assume Caiyan = boy, Cayenne = girl. I don't like Caiyan at all, but Cayenne could be cute for the right family.

+1 Cayenne seems more like a girl name (the "enne" ending), whereas Caiyan seems like a way to make it into a boy's name. IMO no matter the spelling, the "cayenne" pronunciation works better as a girl name.

I'd pronounce it like cayenne pepper. My name is Carrie-Anne and toddlers make my name sound like cayenne!

OP here: What race would you assume?

Honestly, my first assumption would be white American parents trying to be "yoonique." Wouldn't be surprised to find out it was a foreign language/ethnic name, though.
