Comments for CYAN:
From the ancient Greek name "Kyane", indeed derived from the ancient Greek word "Kyanon", meaning "greenish blue". In Greek mythology, Kyane was a nymph.-- Damis 3/20/2005
In Britain at least, the word "cyan" is pronounced "sie-ANNE", with the stress on the 2nd syllable not the 1st.-- Anonymous User 3/7/2006
The Norwegian/Swedish cartoon Nemi's best friend is called Cyan, because of her blue haircolor.-- honungspinglan 3/26/2007
I think this is a really cool name, and I like its simplicity and brevity. Despite being short and simple, it doesn't sound like a nickname. The downside is that it will probably remind people of cyanide, but if the name is pronounced CY-an rather than CY-un, it will at least sound different.-- slight night shiver 4/19/2008
Cyann from the indie duo Cyann & Ben has a variation on this name.-- slight night shiver 4/19/2008
I'd like to name my daughter Cyan Seren, so that it means "Blue Star."
I don't think people immidiatly think of Cyanide, although they are both derived from the same word. It took me forever to realize that, and I'm an etymology nerd.-- MoonAgeDaydreamer 10/26/2008
Meh. It's okay. Sounds too much like "sighin'" to me.-- emmiix3 4/2/2009
Cyan sounds better on a boy to me.-- Alaric 4/3/2009
Well, I'm studying chemistry, so this name made me think of cyanide at first, which is kind of bizarre, but I like the colour.-- rosarosae 5/31/2009
I like this name. It's short and sweet and not over-used.-- number1212 7/9/2009
I thought this name was odd at first, but now I seem to like it. :)-- -Julia- 7/26/2009
I could never name a child this. Some colour names are okay but this one just makes me want to buy new printer cartridges.-- LakeGirl 8/10/2009
I know a girl with this name, but she pronounces it sie-ANNE. To me, that makes it sound much more like an actual name than a color, and I don't immediately think of Cyanide. I think it's quite pretty.-- erb816 2/16/2010
I commented earlier. But come to think of it, I think this would make a great male name. After all, the name simply means "greenish-blue," and the Greek *kyanos* sounds masculine anyway. I think this would be a great boy's name.-- erb816 4/22/2010
Cyan is a very light, bright bluey-turquoise colour. It's a pretty colour, but (s)he might not like it. Also, they may not be able to pronounce it at a young age.-- ListenToAsuka 5/3/2010
While I like other colour names (Scarlett, Indigo etc.), for some reason I don't consider Cyan a name. Also, it sounds too masculine for a girl.-- Anonymous User 12/20/2010
Cute name!-- xxlovedisxx 5/3/2011
To be truthful, I do not think that "Cyan" is an acceptable name in reality. It is horrendously childish, unprofessional, pretentious, and perhaps even pompous. It certainly is not a helpful title that will aid your child's future career. The problem that pronunciation will potentially pose is very high.-- Francesca 5/6/2011
I prefer it for males, as it's similar to Brian and Ryan. I really like it, maybe it could fit in the middle name slot.-- Black_X 7/12/2011
