m

Maybe it's just too short for some people?

m

Hmm. It's not bad, but I'd prefer just using Ben.

m

I prefer this to Benjamin.

m

How often would this kid get called "Brendan" instead?

m

a nice change from Christopher.

m

I know so many people named Chris, but I can't resist using it as a middle name.

m

I prefer this spelling, and I think enough people know to pronounce it like Kieran (unlike poor Ciara).

m

THE #1 boys name.

m

m

...would unfortunately be linked to donuts here. I still like it, though.

m

Too close to Evan now, but nice and classic.

m

It's my oldest nephew's name, therefore I'm not actually going to use it - but it's short, strong, and sweet.

m

Really couldn't use it, I suppose.

m

I hope he's not clumsy, or bad at baseball. Probably wouldn't use it.

m

m

Really short for a first name. I'd use it in the middle.

m

m

m

m

I prefer Ciaran, but at least Kieran looks as if it would be pronounced correctly.

m

A lot of these names are too Irish to be used, but I still like them.

m

m

I prefer it to Matthew, but I probably won't use it.

m

m

Don't really like Nate, but I like the similarities to Daniel. It'd have to be a middle name if I used it, though.

m

Another name I would avoid in December, but still love.

m

I didn't realize this was being used for girls, even scarcely. It's not one of my faves.

m

m

Same deal as Roisin, I don't think anyone could pronounce it right here.

m

New nephew. It's a family name, so I expect it to crop up a lot.

m

Too much like Evan, Ethan, Ian?

m

m

m

I like it for a BOY! Seriously, aren't there enough freaking girls' names? What's so frilly and feminine about LITTLE KING???

m

m

I definitely prefer this spelling. I've noticed that the majority of my boy names end in N and are either Anglicized versions of Irish names, or the actual Irish names.

m

Little Mermaid aside, I like the impression this name gives - but I don't like Bastian. Yes, I'd rather have a son compared to a Jamaican crab than a whiny motherless kid from an 80's flick.

m

With so many celebrities, toys, and games featuring Simon, I guess it's just very familiar to me. I'm more likely to use Simon than Simone.

m

m

Toby's an okay nickname, but I don't think it works as a full name, and I don't like Tobias, so Tobin it is.

m

I don't like the nicknames Vince or Vinnie...
