Hello! I’m having trouble choosing between these two names !! Which one do you like best? What kind of person/vibes do each of them make you think of? Also which spelling do you prefer, [name_f]Keira[/name_f] or [name_f]Kira[/name_f] ? I would really appreciate your help! Thank you!!

Personally I prefer [name_f]Melody[/name_f], but both of the names are very sweet!
I picture a [name_f]Melody[/name_f] as a very sweet little girl with a heart of gold. She’s very honest, but is incredibly kind, and would do anything for her friends!!
I picture a [name_f]Keira[/name_f] (I prefer this spelling) as a daydreamer, and she is always lost in her thoughts. She loves reading stories, and always pictures herself as the protagonist of her own someday!!
Here are some emoji vibes:
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]: 
[name_f]Keira[/name_f]:

I love the name Kira quite a bit! I see Kira as an intrepid, bookish, and smart little girl. I never loved Keira, but I do like it.
I think that in its heyday, Melody was a sweet name, but now it’s overused. It is true, though, that there are too many Melody references for a girl to be tied to just one.
Also, if you’re just perfectly ridden with indecision, you could consider Kira’s cousin. Enter: Kiera!!
If you pronounce it key-EHR-uh, it sounds like Kira but is still its own name. It’s like Kira but with more zing.

[name_f]Melody[/name_f] is my preference and for [name_f]English[/name_f] audiences [name_f]Kira[/name_f] is definitely better because the ei is a bit awkward in a lot of instances. [name_f]Kiera[/name_f] could be an option too!

[name_f]Melody[/name_f] is warm, rhythmic, gentle and poetic.
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] is sparky, strong, a little sleek, a little rugged.
I think I slightly prefer [name_f]Melody[/name_f]

Both lovely names, with quite a different feel to them!
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] is very soft, elegant, and sweet. [name_f]Keira[/name_f] feels more lively, energetic, and bright. So I think it depends which overall “vibe” you’re going for…
Re spellings: I’d lean toward [name_f]Kiera[/name_f] rather than [name_f]Keira[/name_f], since I tend to hesitate on how to pronounce names with an “ei” spelling - but I prefer [name_f]Kira[/name_f] to both! Nice, simple spelling that looks fresh & cute.

I much prefer the sweetness of [name_f]Melody[/name_f]!
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] has 2000’s vibes to me, with a sassy and preppy feel, and [name_f]Melody[/name_f] feels more like a sweet, gentle, nature-lover type!

I prefer [name_f]Keira[/name_f] to [name_f]Melody[/name_f]. [name_f]Melody[/name_f] seems like how you describe but that she’d also be taken advantage of and have tendencies towards sluggishness (not sure why I see her this way, sorry any [name_f]Melody[/name_f] berries). I find [name_f]Keira[/name_f] a lot more with it!
I see the [name_f]Keira[/name_f] as possibly holding the vowel (ee) a little longer than [name_f]Kira[/name_f] (and both longer than Kirra). They also have different cultural meanings (and origins), with [name_f]Keira[/name_f] being [name_u]Irish[/name_u] for little dark one and [name_f]Kira[/name_f] Russian for throne - to me, [name_f]Keira[/name_f] has something more affectionate and homespun about it, [name_f]Kira[/name_f] bolder and more artistic.

[name_f]Kira[/name_f] > [name_f]Melody[/name_f] > [name_f]Keira[/name_f] for me, oddly enough. They’re all nice names, though.

[name_f]Melody[/name_f] is lilting, musical and reminds me of Ariel’s daughter in [name_m]Little[/name_m] Mermaid 2 so I always think of it as a mermaidy, watery, princessy name! I don’t love nn ‘Mel’ because it feels overdone but there are other options.
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] and [name_f]Kira[/name_f] feel quite different to me despite being basically the same 
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] is dreamier and has that [name_u]Irish[/name_u], Celtic vibe. I like the contrast between the hard K and soft ‘eir’ sound. [name_f]Kira[/name_f], on the other hand, is sharper and spunkier to me ~ it loses the [name_u]Irish[/name_u] softness and feels more sleek and international. I also think of [name_m]Major[/name_m] [name_f]Kira[/name_f] in [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek who is an absolute pistol!

[name_f]My[/name_f] vote is for [name_f]Melody[/name_f]!
I am all about names that have less spelling confusion, and [name_f]Keira[/name_f] is beautiful but there are so many accepted spellings - not a bad name at all … but it gives me pause .

I have a soft spot for [name_f]Melody[/name_f] 
. I think it’s so sweet… It also makes me think of the character from Out Of [name_f]My[/name_f] Mind, which is an excellent association. Keira’s also pretty. I’d go with this spelling, or [name_f]Kiera[/name_f], because my instinct would be to pronounce [name_f]Kira[/name_f] like [name_f]Kyra[/name_f] (k-EYE-ra). Both great choices!
