I hate it when family/friends say the name you have picked is awful, but the only opinion that matters is yours and your husband's. Keane is cute and i went to school with a Keenan and Keen was his nickname.

Stats name their baby's Apple and Suri right?

Keane (Keen) is a nice name. And personally I love Irish names!

My girls are Kylie Anne and Hadley Grace! (Hadley is old english)

I have know people names Keegan or Keanan as well. And my grandmother maiden names is Kiernan.

Good luck! If you feel its right, go for it!

Blessings, Shannon

I think it's a cute name!

Well, my name is Storm and no one thought that was a good name to call someone but my mom and dad did anyway and now everyone loves it. So, I say go for it if you both like the name. Grandparents can't hate their grandchild because of his name! If they do then that's just wrong. Go foor it and name your kid that! :) They'll grow to love it eventually.

It's the name of a band, and a last name as well. I don't like it at all.

it might go over if it wasnt such an original spelling dont set a child up for being mispronounced its just not right maybe you could call him keane for his nickname at home but give him a real name to face the world with.

Keane?

(key-in) or (kay-ne) or (keen)?



If it's (key-in) I like it a lot! But I think it should be spelled Kiyan so there's no mispronunciation

If it's (cane) I like it a lot! But I think it should be spelt Kain so there's no mispronounciation.

If it's (keen) I don't like it at all.

He'll probably be teased at school. "Keen" means geeky or teacher's pet, like always does his homework on time and stuff. It's also the name of a band. I'm sure you can find a proper name that you like?

thats the reason i dont tell anyone the names we pick until the baby is born, people rarely criticise when the babys arrived. its none of their business dont let them put you off a name you like, theyll come round and get used to it when the baby arrives.

Is it pronounced like "Kee-uhn"? It looks like it's pronounced "Kee-ayne". Which is why it's so horrible. If you spelt it "Kian" it would be better.
