I love Ciaran! It's been first (and currently ranks second) on my favorite boys names list for several years now. It's quite a handsome sounding name, unique Irish Gaelic spelling and not terribly popular - even Kieran hasn't made it to the top 20 in the USA yet. The meaning is a bit "dark" but I usually think of it as dark hair, and the spelling is a bit tricky if you're not used to it but I love the look of Ciaran far more than Kieran.
I've tried several middle names with it such as Douglas and Laurence but I keep coming back to using my maiden name with it for a Ciaran Michael combo.
