Boy's name MIRAN - opinions please

[Petra]

what do you think about boy's name MIRAN? I saw a really cute boy called Miran a few years ago and since we can not agree on any other name, we might go for it in the end.

 

[Manda&Thomas]

i really hate it sorry

[debecca]

Sorry, I don't like it either... do you have any other possibilities?

 

[Ani]

I think it is quite cute. Is it pronounced My-ran?

I wouldnt personally go for it, but its not a horrid name by any stretch in my opinion.

 

[Becky]

How would you pronounce it? I like MY-ran a lot better than MIH-ran.

 

[Minxy]

I don't love it, but think it's fine.

 

[chickadee1976]

How do you pronounce it

 

[Petra]

might reconsider since nobody really likes it.. I would pronounce it mih-ran... What about Milan?

 

[Noor~ul~Usman]

I read it as Mih-ran and personally think it sounds quite nice

If you're thinking of something else not so commonly used but maybe a bit more in fitting with typical brittish names how about something like Ty? Although I'd be tempted to spell it Ti (with an accent over the i)

Me 2
Sorry
You asked..

Its your child though/ your choice

 

[Lola's Mummy]

Not my cup of tea sorry

Not fussed at all hun x

 

[*Star*]

i like the name. it strikes me though as an 'asian' sounding name?

 

[GBLiz]

it made me think 'miriam' which is of course a girls name

How about Kiran ? (its an indian name )

 

[tom]

too androgynous. If someone looked at his email address they would not know if he was a boy or a girl.

 

[bobby1]

I really like it actually!

I would have thought it would be pronounced Mih-ran.

If you like it then you should go for it hun

 

[EllieBelle]

Much prefer Milan out of your 2 choices..........

Have you got any other ideas as well?

 

[hennaly]

i know someone called that and if i posted a picture it would soon put you off

 

[Petra]

Miran / Milan are the only options at the moment. We have spoken to everyone in the family and told them to find nice names as we seem to be really clueless ( it's not easy - I am from the Czech Republic, my DH is Iraqi and we live in England... all completely different cultures)
Thanks for all your comments girls

I did wonder if the name had its origins from somewhere over there It makes sense now. Its defo not an English sounding name hence why it may not be popular with people. I thought it might be a Polish name. I know someone with something very similar.

Is it a known name in your home country? If so why not go with it. Nothing wrong in embracing your culture Plenty of people with roots overseas do so.
