  1. Definitely Kian but I'm also liking Cian... they both are nice


  2. Kian all the way

  3. If I saw these two names on paper I would pronounce the first one as SI-ANNE.  I would pronounce the second one as CAYENNE like the pepper.

  4. Kian, it presents the most obvious pronunciation, I know both a Kian and a Cian and Cian is always having to explain that his name isnt pronounced See-an or Sharn (like the girls name Sian). Its a very lovely name, classic but cool.

  5. k

  6. I would pronounce Cian as "cyan". I have never heard of Kian. It sounds so effeminate for a grown man.

  7. Definitely Kian.  I don't like C's much...

  8. I would go with KIAN coz sometimes people might pronounce CIAN like 'S-ian'.

  9. both are stunning! with cian, you might get "cy-en" a little more often. kian might be your best bet! :-)  personally, i like kian a little more.

  10. People will definitely have trouble pronouncing it.  If you spell it with a K at least everyone will know what to do with the inital consonant, leaving only the vowel sound to puzzle over.  With Cian you have to start by deciding when the C sound like an S or a K  or something else like Sh or Ch and then you can go on and ponder whether the vowels sound more like those in Lion or in Liam.

  11. Cian definitly.

    Theres no K in the Irish alphabet so why put a K in an Irish name?

  12. To tell u the thruth i dont like either of them

  13. idk how it's supposed to be pronounced i think,

    cian is like sea-on AND

    kian is like key--on

    if that helps any

    please answer mine, im lost!:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

  14. I think you should spell it with the c because its differnt because the way you say it you would think that it would be spelled with a k

  15. kian without a doubt

  16. how do you want this name pronounced: Kian as like Liam,i prefer the one with the K.
