1. Do you like the sound? (Sound only, despite connotations)? - Yes

2. What is your impression of it? What kind of assumptions would you make about someone with that name? - My impression is that its a nice name, but I wouldn't assume anything with it. It doesn't "belong" to a certain group.

3. Do you think that a little boy named Ciaran would be teased? Especially with the popularity of Kiera? - Nope, I don't. See my post before - Kids won't get teased because of their names.

---

4. Do you think that the name Ciaran would age well (Regardless of the supposed "Irish" trend)? - Yes (I'm doing this backwards, sorry for repeating!)

---

5. Can you think of any drawbacks/negative associations? - No, Kiaran would be better. (Kiefer and Kiaran are not too close)

---

6. Can you think of any positive associations? - Its a good, strong, not too popular name.

7. Does the combo Ciaran George Derry sound good? (Middle names must honour family). Other possibilities, Richard, John, James, Robert, suggestions? - I think Ciaran Robert Derry sounds better.

8. How does Ciaran fit in with Kiefer, Harrison, Liam? Is Kiefer & Ciaran too close? - It fits in very well - except with Harrison. They are very Irishesque names, but not overly so.
