Top Boy Name Options (Poll)- Comments appreciated

posted 1st Jan
We have narrowed our boy name options down to what seems to be pretty much for sure the top 5 names (though we still have time to decide to change, as we have a couple times thus far).

Comments and thoughts on all 5 names would be much appreciated.


- Kian (we'd choose the Persian pronunciation of 'KEY-yawn' (Persian= benevolent king) rather than the Gaelic pronunciation of 'KEY-in' (Gaelic= ancient), which is also why we've chosen this spelling rather than the Gaelic 'Cian')

- Caius (Latin = "to rejoice"; pronounced 'KYE-us')

- Amias (Latin = "loved/beloved/loves God"; pronounced 'um-EYE-us')

- Darius (Persian/Greek/Latin = "protector"; pronounced dar-ee-us (dar rhymes with car))

- Caian (Latin/Welsh = "to rejoice", shares the same roots with the name Caius via the Welsh name Cai; pronounced 'kye-in')

You've heard this name before! I am kinda guessing on the pronunciation 'kye-in' (thinking like the Cai from Caius since it has similar origins), but I can't actually find any sources to tell me the original/correct pronunciation. If you've heard this name before, do you know how they decided to go with that particular pronunciation (cee-in--- by the way is cee-in like 'sea'/'see'/'C' - 'in')?

Ooo I like ky like kai or khai right? Ky-in?

Idk they were English and yea like sea-in. He was 4 at the time. I kinda like that. But I think it was spelled Sean but pronounced sea-in.

Those are unique and I kinda like em all but I love the sound ah-may-us

Oh and carmelli antjony's son is named cayenne but I forgot the spelleding. I don't like that. The Ann sound is feminine. My friends little boy is kaylan. It sounds like kailyn to me which sounds girly.

_________________

Yea, we're thinking it might be pronounced Ky like Kai or Khai... Ky-in... Seems most likely based on the origins I've discovered, but it's a super uncommon name and hard to find many details on it. It's an old name, been around for at least 1500 years (maybe more), but it's a hard one to learn much about.

I quite like the pronunciation for Amias as ah-may-us too, though I think if we choose this name we'll go with um-EYE-us as it seems to be the 'correct' way (as far as I can find), and feels to me to be the most intuitive pronunciation.

I haven't heard that name before. Not bad. I tend to like a lot of these ancient Latin names. They feel historic but not antiquated, ancient but not outdated, unique but not 'out there', intelligent but not pretentious, cool but not trendy. I just can't imagine not choosing an ancient, historic name.
