Pronounce it like Si-larn. It sound like Milan, except a c instead of m. Anyway, as soon as i saw Cilan, i thought it fit him perfectly, i think i got deja-vu, maybe someone guessed that name before.
It's not in the open yet somone dug through their files. I looked to, but yeah, I'm petty sure these are as confirmed as can be, what with the English series makings its way to american screens on the 12th.
Cilan is a very interesting name and it fits him so well because it sounds like cilantro which is a herb and he has the grass monkey so maybe the other 2 will have a name thats somehow related to the element type of their monkey. And i love that Iris kept her name .
I don't care too much for the character's names, although Cilan fits him perfectly, so I'm pleased. It would have been kinda silly to change Iris as well.
