Help with spelling

Girl Names
1

I finally got DH to offer up a different name than Ahsoka shudder but I need help with spelling. Our other girls are [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] and [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_u]Kaye[/name_u].

The name is pronounced keer-ee-ah-nah.

Possible spellings: Kirianna, Kierianna, Carianna, Kiriana…

I think I sort of want to stick with the double N just for consistency. Not a family name, but it means ([name_u]Carey[/name_u]+[name_f]Anna[/name_f]) dark grace which is pretty cool :). Probable MN is [name_u]Rae[/name_u], [name_u]Raye[/name_u], or [name_u]Ray[/name_u]. My grandmother’s middle name is [name_u]Ray[/name_u]. Mine is [name_u]Jaye[/name_u], My mom’s is [name_u]Kay[/name_u], so I am not married to a specific spelling. It is more the sound.

I think I prefer Kirianna (although you may get Anna instead of “ah-na”). All of your girls would then have double letters in their names so that would be quite a lovely connection between the sisters. Second choice would be Kiriana. Kierianna looks odd and Carianna is too similar to [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f].

I think the Kiriana spelling would be most likely to be pronounced correctly. It’s a neat idea to have the double-consonant connection to her sisters, though. Ultimately, I’d probably go with Kiriana.

Thanks! That was kind of what I was thinking, but didn’t know if there was an obvious spelling I was missing. :slight_smile:
