What do you think of [name_u]Miran[/name_u] for a boy? I just found the name and am not completely sure how to pronounce it. How would you pronounce?

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think the names are a bit feminine for a boy?

What are your general thoughts? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like it or nah?

I also want to know your thoughts on [name_u]Adair[/name_u] nn [name_f]Addie[/name_f]. Is [name_f]Addie[/name_f] too feminine as well?

Miran does seem quite feminine to me, not that it couldn’t work on a boy.
Adair feels pretty unisex but I’d assume an Addie is a girl. I might call Adair “Dair” as a nickname, or give him a J middle name to call him AJ.

I have a few male relatives named [name_m]Miron[/name_m], so I don’t think that [name_u]Miran[/name_u] is feminine at all!
[name_u]Adair[/name_u] “Addie” on the other hand strikes me as more feminine and at first I thought you were talking about a game for a girl. But I can totally work on a boy too

I haven’t come across [name_u]Miran[/name_u] before, I like the look of it. [name_f]My[/name_f] first instinct would be to pronounce it Meer-un, rhyming with [name_u]Kieran[/name_u], but NB says MEE-ran, so depending on where you are you could maybe run into some pronunciation difficulties BUT certainly a very usable name.

I absolutely love [name_u]Adair[/name_u] on a boy. The nn [name_m]Ad[/name_m], or [name_f]Dair[/name_f] as pp said, would make it lean more masculine. I do think [name_f]Addie[/name_f] can completely work too though.

[name_f]Miren[/name_f] comes off feminine to me likely because of the familiarity of Maren/ [name_u]Marion[/name_u].

And while [name_u]Adair[/name_u] seems completely masculine the nn turns it into feminine for me (likely due to the American [name_f]Girl[/name_f] doll Addy).

It’s the first time I hear of [name_u]Miran[/name_u], but I like it. It reminds me of [name_u]Milan[/name_u], a unisex name I love for both boys and girls. For the pronunciation, I would say it like [name_u]Milan[/name_u], but with an R instead of the L. The meaning is beautiful on top of it. I don’t think it would be difficult for a child to bear this name since the ressemblance whit [name_u]Milan[/name_u] and the popularity of unisex names.

[name_u]Adair[/name_u] sounds more masculine than feminine to me even though it is a unisex name as well. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is definitely a feminine nickname for me however.

[name_u]Miran[/name_u] is my favorite between these two :slightly_smiling_face:

Also I forgot to add, [name_u]Miran[/name_u] feels gender neutral but because my first thought was [name_u]Kieran[/name_u] / [name_u]Kiran[/name_u] that might sway it slightly masculine to me.

And with [name_u]Adair[/name_u], he wouldn’t need a nn imo.

[name_u]Miran[/name_u] was a top 10 name in my country last year! It’s one of my very favourite names :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Soft and elegant. I don’t think it’s too feminine.

I like [name_u]Adair[/name_u] too. Nickname [name_f]Addie[/name_f] does sound pretty feminine to me but it can work.

miran is a very soft and appealing name - i like it ! i can’t really picture this on a girl, but i wouldn’t dislike it on a girl :sweat_smile:

adair is really cool sounding, i think adi shows as more unisex/masculine than addie

I think it could work! It seems pretty unisex to me overall. I also think it depends on spelling. [name_u]Mirren[/name_u] seems more girl to me. It also would depend on pronunciation. MEER-in sounds more feminine, but MY-run more masculine.

I don’t mind [name_u]Miran[/name_u] for a boy, my main association is [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_u]Mirren[/name_u] (different spelling but same pronunciation) so it leans more fem to me but I think it could work. [name_u]Adair[/name_u] I think works fine for a boy too, the nn [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is definitely more feminine but if it’s just a casual thing like how [name_u]Sam[/name_u] can be nn [name_u]Sammy[/name_u] off and on then I think it’s fine, as a more constant nn if you’d prefer something less feminine then Dair/Dare and it’s a stretch but [name_u]Ari[/name_u] could work too

I’d pronounce it meer-un. It’s pretty cool and I can see it on a boy.

[name_u]Adair[/name_u] has flair!! [name_f]Addie[/name_f] feels a it feminine but not too much. The spelling [name_f]Addy[/name_f] might feel more masculine

It means peaceful or quiet in my language so that is the only thing I associate with it (nice meaning though). But I guess it would work better for speakers of different languages. Would you pronounce it “Mee” or “My”?

I think that Miran is fine for both genders but Adiar nn Addie. If you called him Addie I would assume that it was a girl named Addison.

I agree with this. Call him AJ or just Adiar or someto her nickname/pet name that has nothing to with his name
