Name origin
Kieran's Japanese name, Suguri (スグリ) is the Japanese word for currant or gooseberry (it is the term for the genus Ribes). Due to Kieran's violet theming it may be specifically referring to blackcurrant (クロスグリ, kurosuguri), which has a distinct purple color. Kieran (in English) probably comes from the word "currant"? --DecafSnorlax (talk) 06:36, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Kieran is an anglicisation of the Irish name Ciarán, which comes from the word ciar, meaning black Magentafeelings (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
French Version Age
I think that since the French version is the only clearification of Kieran’s age it should show ~14 just like how the protagonist of PLA have next to their age and the pla protagonist age isn’t cannon and only implied by Cylene as she states the the player character LOOKS not is 15. Similar thing with Kieran because his age is said only in the French version so that age should be there just like the PLA player character. KenneyTGP (talk) 23:49, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
More proof is that Cylene says that the player LOOKS 15 not is, and that’s coming from someone who in that point in the game barely knows you. But for Kieran his age is stated by Carmine who is his sister who would know his age better then anyone else of there than Kieran’s family. So the prof is more solid and I think that should be his age in bulbapidia. KenneyTGP (talk) 00:03, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- "~14" doesn't make sense at all regardless with the French version, where he's unambiguously 14. It doesn't say this in any other version, therefore not canon. The PLA protags on the other hand, is basically just taking throwaway dialogue at face value. Inkster (talk) 00:41, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
But the difference is that she says you LOOK 15 while it is stated by Carmine Kieran’s sister that he is 14 whether it is only in French or not. KenneyTGP (talk) 00:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
