Yep I agree, it’s correctly spelled Ciarán, and in Irish (like most other languages) á is pronounced “aww”, so in my dialect at least, I’d say Kee-rawn.
mind you I heard some absolute howlers.
Lads, the Met Office in Dublin does have telephones to doublecheck the pronunciation…and I know the BBC has a few paddies squirreled away somewhere they could ask, including in the news room. Like, how many dramas did poor Ciarán Hinds suffer through for them?!
Roll on Storms Damhnait, Eibhilín, Fachnadh and Gormflaith

Very interesting. When the allegations surfaced I really didn’t want to believe them as I was a fan.
Then he gave an interview, telling his own side (can’t remember with whom), and, um, if I was skeptical before I wasn’t after!

Ciaran is the Irish for Kieran, and is in fact being pronounced correctly ie 'Kee-ron'.
He’s one I wouldn’t mind storm
Unpopular opinion but it’s lazy that news presenters don’t know how to pronounce Irish names properly. It shouldn’t be that difficult.
Re the Noel Clarke story, surely there has got to be something to it when over 20 women made allegations of varying degrees?
But they are pronouncing it as if they are two separate words.Ciaran is the Irish for Kieran, and is in fact being pronounced correctly ie 'Kee-ron'.
Hard agree. And if it were names from countries other than Ireland I feel more effort would be made.
My gut says possibly they had some help like IVF. But as others say its not unheard of, could of been a surprise pregnancy! I've shared on here before that I tried over 10 years for another baby. As I've gotten closer to 50, my husband & I use birth control on advicefrom my GP. I'm not sure I could handle sleepless nights now. But good on them, we are massive Only Connect fans in this house
When the heck did that happen to Johnny Depp’s teeth??
On the topic of Ciarán, fellow Irish people will know the annoyance of hearing people pronounce - usually in movies - Samhain as SAM HAIN like it’s some guy’s name

Even if you have a baby in your forties, you‘re 60 with a teenager in the house! (like me). However I hope she doesn’t get a load of flak for being an older mum, when Al Pacino is a dad again at 83! - although Victoria will have lots of help with a nanny etc.
Nah, we think it's bleeping weird. Never met someone who didn't call Brigitte Macron a pedophile or abuser when the subject comes up. It's why she isn't as much in the public eye as other première dames.
The problem is there is not much anybody can do: they are married, they are thick as thieves (she is very much involve in his politic decisions) and it was 20 years ago. It's more resignation than acceptance (or proud
)If it makes people feel better, most people think that Brigitte is Macron's beard. A few years ago, the rumor was that he was in a relationship with the CEO of

Sorry, couldn't remember the name from the top of my head. It was the CEO (PDG?) of Radio France
I had my last baby 5 years ago aged 45. Total surprise. My eldest child is 23.
I don’t even let my husband wink at me these days…
I knew a woman a few years back who accidentally got pregnant at 51, and had her son at 52 - he was perfectly healthy and she had no pregnancy complications at all. She was studying for a degree at the time so she was more shocked than anyone
Same here, love our BBC2 Monday nights.
I do dislike those hideous cream court shoes she wears with almost everything and her wardrobe choices are questionable given she must get a wardrobe budget.
I await seeing her blossom at the connecting wall.
