Commentary on the name Kian:
Cian was a hero of ancient Celtic legend, and his name -- two brisk, bright syllables -- is one of the top favorites in Ireland today. American parents usually opt for a K spelling to clarify pronunciation. For a one-syllable version, go with the Anglicized spelling Keane.
