0/10 rage bait. Good try, though.

Of course. Americans can only name their kids Hunter and McKinley.

Caveats: It sounds a bit feminine. And it lends itself to nicknames that are kind of a tease -- Karen, Kiki, etc.

It does often get misspelled.


I've never hear a Kieran called Karen! Or Kiki

I like it, op


I've heard Kiki as a cute play on Kieran, but our Kieran is little and Kiki is still cute for him at this stage. It won't stick as a nickname and 99% of the people we meet get his name right on the first try.

Cute.

Can't Kier be a nickname? Seems appropriate.There was an actor named Kier Dullea.

Wow.

This is exactly what I was thinking while I was reading this thread. Kieran isn’t even an uncommon name in the US. I think you’d have to be living under a rock to have never heard it before.
