Hi all,
Input on a name we're strongly considering for our first child, a boy, is much appreciated. The name is a special one to us, as my husband's background is Persian, I am part Irish, and the name is both Persian and Irish (it also has Hawaiian and African-American roots). The pronunciation we would go with is the Persian pronunciation: the first syllable rhymes with the word "tea", and the second syllable rhymes with the boy's name "John". The *second* syllable is stressed, not the first.
These are my questions:
1. Which spelling makes it easiest to pronounce the name?
2. Which spelling makes it easiest to stress the second syllable?
3. Knowing the pronunciation, how would you spell the name?
4. How might you mispronounce the name spelled in these ways if you didn't already know the pronunciation?
a. Kyan
b. Keon
c. Kian
d. Kiyan
e. Keyon
f. Keyan
g. other?
Thank you SO much. Your feedback is much appreciated!

I would definitly go with Kian in this case. I would still pronounce this name Key-on.
