CIARÁN and IOAN
How do you pronounce them? I looked them up, but the pronounciation is not there! This has been bugging me for a while.

It looks like the other two have got you covered on Ciaran.Ioan is pronounced - YO-in. (not so much 'an,' it has more 'n' sound)

Ioan: YO-an
Ciaran: KEE-ah-ran or KEER-an

Ciarán = Keer-a-AWN or Keer-AWNETA: Ciaran with no fada(accent mark over the second 'a') would be Keer-AN. The fada elongates the vowel.
