I would not use the Ciaran spelling. C before i and e uses the soft c sound /s/.

In English, maybe, but not in Gaelic.

That's fine. To each their own. I wasn't insisting that anyone use the original spelling. I was just pointing out that the pronounciation guide you were giving was for English, not Gaelic, in case the original poster (or anyone else reading this) didn't know that and assumed Ciaran to be a made-up or trendy spelling of Kieran.

I don't usually like the name Caleb (okay I still don't like it, sorry :) but I do think it's the best fit (out of the list) w/ Isaac.
