the point here taney - the indiginous population is multi cultural! english irish scots welsh cornish and we all had our own language and names! as long as you are happy with the name and the spelling - DONT change it for others convenience. when the child goes to docs or nursery or whatever you can quietly tell people the correct pronunciation - or just get used to some (very funny) versions of it. if its your heritage be proud of it. you never know - it may top the most favourite names poll one day!
The indigenous population is not as 'multi-cultural' as all that, or rather, we have had multi-culturalism and political correctness foisted on us.
Examples have been given of traditional names from other parts of the British Isles - Ireland, the Western Isles of Scotland, Wales. When I was in Brittany recently I noticed that they are rediscovering their own traditional Breton, not French, names. My hairdresser was called Nolwenn.
When shall we ethnic English rediscover our traditional names, that disappeared under Norman pressure in the 12th century? At least some survive - Edith for Eadgyth, Emma for Ymme, Edwin for Eadwine, and so on.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.

Is it pronounced keera?
:beer: Well done!! I see you're from Merseyside though so you have a slight advantage, seeing as half of Ireland seem to live there...my sister included!"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

I only got it because I know Ciaran is pronounced Kee-ran and I only know that because my son has a friend and it's spelt like that
