Do you like these names for a boy?

lily310 · January 2011

My DH and I are of Indian origin but grew up here in the US and aren't too crazy about Indian boys' names. We're looking for a "crossover" type name- something sort of fusiony, but we've had a really hard time thinking of something we both love. After lots of debating, we've narrowed our list down to:

Ronan

or

Kieran

They're both actually Irish names, but are really close to Indian names. What do you all think? Any other ideas for us?

TIA!

I don't love them, but they're not awful by any means.

I like them both too! Kieran better, but Ronan is not as popular so that may be a good choice too! I love Irish names...Declan and Asher are two of my fav Irish boy names.

Kieran gets my vote.

Bran_ham · January 2011

Both are cool names. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

JuneBugsMommy · January 2011

I like Ronan better than Kieran but neither are really my style.

I like them both, I love Celtic/Irish names, but Kieran was actually one of my girl choices!

Kieran is on our list. I'm pretty sure we're going with another name on our list if we have a boy, but I really like Kieran too.

NMS, but that doesn't mean I don't like them! They're both neat! I'd probably vote Kieran over Ronan.

Thanks ladies! I appreciate your input on this!

DH and I are having the same problem. He's of Indian descent and I'm half Pakistani and half Italian. I like both those names but DH's niece is actually named Kiran, so that won't work for us! Wish us luck, we have a long way to go I think...
