I'm having a hard time choosing between my top two favourite boys names so I thought I'd get some opinions from you guys.

Do you prefer Anthony or Kieran? And if I used both, does Anthony Kieran or Kieran Anthony flow better?

My vote is for Anthony Kieran.

My brother's name is Anthony, and I love it. I'd use Anthony Kieran.

I like Anthony Kieran. I prefer the spelling Ciaran, but Kieran is not bad.

Kieran.
I love it.
Anthony is really boring compared to Kieran.
I also like Kieran Anthony. =)

I think Kieran is adorable. I'd never heard that name before.

I think Kieran Anthony flows better.

I love Kieran, it's my cousin's name.
I don't mind it spelt Ciaran either.

I like Kieran better.

I think it depends on your last name. For example, if it was a one syllable name, like Smith, I like Kieran Anthony Smith. If it was a 2 syllable or more name, I like Anthony Kieran, like Anthony Kieran Johnson.
Idk if I am making sense, lol. Just how I heard it in my head. :)

Yeah, I get what you mean ;) last name is Barker so Anthony Kieran Barker. I'm starting to prefer it that way anyway so yay!

[xxladyjxx.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's it! I like that, very nice choice. :)

I like Anthony better.
And I think Anthony Kieran flows better, because when you do it the other way around, the 'an' sound is repeated (KierAN ANthony)

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

Wow, I never thought of that before actually :/ Good thing that I'm sure I prefer Anthony Kieran now then, heh.

ANTHONY.

Kieran is one of those new "trendy" names. Definitely Anthony. I like 'Ant' as a nickname.

Anthony Kieran flows better. The Kieran Anthony flows together too much.

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

Yeah that's something I've noticed very recently, lol. I'm almost sure that I want Anthony as a first name now :)

Anthony Kieran flows better, but I really love Kieran. I'm partial to Anthony as well, but hate the nickname Tony.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

I like them both, and together in either order when just saying first/middle names--would depend on the last name for which *really* worked better. With mine (3 syllables), it'd be Anthony Kieran, but with my maiden name (1 syllable), Kieran Anthony works better. So it just depends.

I like Kieran better. I prefer Kieran Anthony.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

I really like the name Kieran and Kieran Anthony sounds much better of the two, but I don't really like them together much. Kieran is I believe Irish and I associate Anthony as an Italian name [not sure if it actually is] so to me they don't sound right together.

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

*nods* I do kind of agree with you there. The thing is, I really love Anthony and my partner really loves Kieran so we talked about a compromise :P

Oh well, just brainstorming, lol.

I like both, but I prefer Kieran.

But I think Anthony Kieran sounds better

I love Kieran. My boyfriend is set on naming his firstborn son after his deceased father, Anthony, so though the discussion was quite premature, the name has been growing on me.

I think Anythony Kieran flows better, but that may just be because it almost sounds like Anthony Kiedis. I'm throwing in my lot for Kieran Anthony, though.
