So, I've had a huge crush on this name lately, but I'm really not sure how I want to spell it. I'll list my thoughts on each and you guys let me know what you think.
Ciaran
This is the original Irish spelling of the name, which I really like. It looks a bit tricky to pronounce, though, but it's not that bad.
Kieran
This is by far the most common of the three, which I see as a downside. Something about this spelling always bothered me even though I really like this name. I'm not a fan of the "ie" in it for some reason.
Keeran
This is how I always used to spell it, because it looks like it's pronounced and it's only a bit different from the ever-growing-in-popularity Kieran.
Also, what are you guys thinking for middle names? I'm tossing around Chase, Theodore, Alexander, and Thomas, but I'm not making any sure decisions until I decide how I want to spell it. This is currently my favorite boy name (or, one of several ) so I really need to figure out my opinion on this one.
Thanks for the help!
