Re: Keir / Kerr (m)
in reply to a message by Felie
Love Keir ("keer"), for the sake of Keir Hardy, the Labour politician. Also, Keir sounds so dashing and handsome, a real heartbreaker. Variants Cary and Ciaran / Kieran are wonderful too, especially Cary. Kerr ("kehr") is solely a surname to me. I don't see it jumping into personal name land. For some reason people here in the U.S. want to say it as "kahr," like the thing we drive to work.
I have no idea why the "ah" sound. If Kerr is a family surname then it would be nice as a middle name. Other than that, I pass on Kerr.

I love Keir too! It brings to mind a man that's very handsome & charming.I pass on Kerr. which is far too surnamey for me. I say Keh-rr for Kerr. I have no idea where you've been getting Kahrr for Kerr. Maybe in the Southern US? Dunno . I'm in New England.
