Kian?

MaeBrookes · January 2013

I have always liked the name Kian, pronounced Kee-yuhn. And now that I am pregnant with a baby boy I would like to name him Kian. My husband seems to disagree though, he wants to name him Andrew. Though I'm not to fond of this name I want to make him happy, should I change the name Kian to Andrew or should he be Kian Andrew? Other names on our list are Alexander, Conrad, Samuel and Levi.

I do not like Kian at all, sorry. Andrew is a great name though as are Alexander and Conrad. Could you maybe use Kian as a mn (if you really love it)?

I think you should use a name that you both like, meaning don't use Kian or Andrew since neither one of you is too fond of the other's choice. I really like Alexander, Samuel, and Levi from your list.

There were 2 guys in my grade in hs class and they were both awesome. So I associate the name to awesomeness.

I might not use it but I do associate it to good people.

I'd never heard the name Kian before your post and I actually quite like it. I also like Kian Andrew for FM and MN.

Kian is beautiful. Keyon would be how i'd spell it to get the pronounciation you like.

I'm not a fan of the name. At first, I thought the title of this post was spelled K-L-A-N, as in the KKK, because it's hard to tell Is and Ls apart when typed. Not cool for him in an electronic age. What about Keane or Keenan? I like Andrew and any of the names on your mutual list.

I agree. If he doesn't like Kian and you don't like Andrew, throw them both out and concentrate on a mutual decision.

I've never heard Kian before, and I actually really like it! That said, I agree that if your husband doesnt really like it, and you aren't really happy with Andrew, you should keep brainstorming to find one you both love.

Kian is also Persian name meaning king and is definitely spelled correctly with a "k".

Disagree that Keyon would be the way to spell it. If I saw that, I would say Kee-on. And I know a kid with that name. When I read "Kian," in my head, I pronounced it the right way. It isn't really my style but it's okay I guess. Definitely think you should both be happy with your choice, you wouldn't want one of you to be ok and the other one not! Andrew Kian would be cute- Andrew is a classic name that ages better, IMO, and you could still call him Kian if you wanted to.

I prefer it spelled the traditional way, Cian. I love it!

However, if I were faced with your situation I would drop both Kian/Cian and Andrew because you are not fond of Andrew and likewise he isn't agreeing with Kian/Cian.

I'd start from scratch.

My nephew's name is Kian, and I love it. His middle name is Alejandro, which I think sounds nice as well. Kian Andrew flows well - I say go for it!

imnyke · January 2013

My son's name is Kian Miles so I am quite fond of the name. I also agree that spelling it Cian is the correct way but we tried to minimize the butchering!

That being said, I do agree with other people that maybe you and dh should step back and consider other options. Naming a kid is hard! GL!

scbedi · January 2013

I prefer Levi.

==N== · January 2013

I love Kian!

CeCe8579 · January 2013

I would compromise, if he will and go with Kian Andrew or Andrew Kian! I prefer the spelling Cian though!

Andrew as a first name Rocks

Lue94 · January 2013

The Kian I know spells it the way you do. It's an ok name, but nms. I agree with pp. If you and DH are not on board, then I wouldn't suggest using Kian or Andrew, but I love Andrew.
