My name! I don't have the accent (though I wish it did). I really like it as I am of Irish ancestry (Dad is from Derry) but I'm not sure about the meaning if I'm being honest!

Ciarán and its variants (Kieran, Kieron, Kyran, Keiran, Kiaran, etc.) are also used for females, but they're more common for males. So, I think that the "Gender" of these names should be changed from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine".

I think it’s a nice name but I’m afraid people in the USA would always pronounce it SEE ran or SEE run. If I were to use it on a baby boy I’d probably go with Kieran.
