Or "Keane" (which I wouldn't consider incorrect; I'm Irish, before anyone has a go at me). I've seen its spelling anglicised to Keane -think it's awful but that's neither here nor there.

Not stupid at all.
(Though I couldn't understand how the Americans who were bellowing at Cillian Murphy during an awards ceremony (possibly The Oscars) didn't know how to say his name correctly when it was in the media so much.)
Cian is a lovely name and if people don’t know how to pronounce it you either correct them politely or they can simply ask “how do you pronounce your name?” No one would ever suggest that parent didn’t use a Polish, Chinese or French name to reflect their heritage
and I don’t know why Irish is different.
Anyway I’m living for the dawning realisation that this is hard work. I’d be pretty upset if my partner was going on like that to his ginormous social media audience after I’d just given birth though. Save it for your mates in private.
No-one suggested he (or anyone) shouldn't use a particular name. I simply commented that the child will most likely have to correct pronunciation (as you've also pointed out). That can get really tiresome.

You're incorrect. I didn't edit my post - the posts you've quoted are two different posts. One is from yesterday or the day before (couldn't be bothered checking) and one is from today. They both mean the same thing, which I stand over.
I'm beginning to understand the earlier Mumsnet reference on this thread. It's fucking tedious.
Right then, shall we all calm down a bit? James and his partner had a baby, the baby is called Cian which we agreed is a perfectly pleasant name, and his partner stayed in hospital for what we agreed was an above average for the UK and yet not interesting length of time. James looks tired...
