...his name is “Kieran,” which is Gaelic for “blacky,” “black,” or “little dark one,”...

I thought this was a spoof...

Kieran meaning and name origin

Kieran \ki(e)-ran\ as a boy's name is pronounced KEER-en. It is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and the meaning of Kieran is "black".


...I was wrong.

Seriously?

I don't know anything about this, but I'm curious to know if the Romneys actually named Kieran or if that was what the bio parent(s) named the baby. The kid is obviously a little older than a newborn, and a lot of adopted parents will let the kids keep the names they came with, even if they're very young.

Unfortunate name meaning aside, I actually like the name, and no denying he's a cute kid. Hope he finds lots of happiness and love in his new home.

thank God someone has finally brought to light the subtle white power conspiracy in naming kids.
Thank you unbiased Black New site for helping us to realize that, in spite of there being a black president, your people suffer so.
