As a native Irish speaker, the correct way to say it is: Kee-uh-rawn.
The ia in the word "Ciar" uses the diphthong "ɪə" which in English is used in words like "ear" and "linear".
Pronunciation: http://forvo.com/search/Ciaran/
Pronounced Keer-awn.
It's pronounced "KEE-a-rawn".
Pronounced KEE-a-ro-n.
Ciaran is pronounced KEE-rin or can be pronounced KEER-awn.
Correct Gaelic spelling: Ciarán. The 'fada' above the second a makes the vowel long thus resulting in an 'aw' sound. Hence correct pronunciation of the name becomes keer-on.
