Cirdan wasn't the first to carry Narya either.
Upon the forging of the rings, they were distributed to two elves, members of Finwe's royal house...Gil-Galad and Galadriel.
Gil-Galad took Narya and Vilya. He eventually gave them to Cirdan and Elrond, respectively. Cirdan gave Gandalf Narya when the wizard first arrived in Middle-earth (approx. 1000 TA).
Galadriel was the sole bearer of Nenya.
