I prefer the [name_f]Keira[/name_f] spelling as I have met [name_f]Kiera[/name_f]'s who say their name like [name_f]Kiara[/name_f]. I do however like both the [name_f]Kira[/name_f] and Kirra spellings of the name too.

I love them both (I’d use it in a heartbeat if my sister wasn’t called this) but I went with [name_f]Keira[/name_f] as I love that spelling just a little bit more.

I pronounce them both [name_m]KEER[/name_m]-RAH.

I pronounce them both KIH-rah/[name_m]KEER[/name_m]-ah, and of these two I prefer [name_f]Kiera[/name_f]. Of all of the spellings of the name though, I prefer [name_f]Kira[/name_f].

I pronounce both the same. I slightly prefer the [name_f]Keira[/name_f] version. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite spelling, though, is the irish [name_f]Ciara[/name_f]. But I do understand the pronounciantion issues with this one out of the UK.

I didn’t vote because I like them both equally, sorry I couldn’t help! But I do think the name is lovely

Out of the two, I prefer [name_f]Keira[/name_f]. However, my favourite spelling is [name_f]Ciara[/name_f], which is the original Irish spelling.

I would pronounce them [name_m]KEER[/name_m]-ah.

I prefer the look of [name_f]Keira[/name_f] and I pronounce it [name_m]KEER[/name_m]-uh. I’ve always wondered which spelling was “correct” because of the “I before E except after C” rule, but I guess they both are. Either way it’s a lovely name.

[name_f]Keira[/name_f] I pronounce [name_m]Keer[/name_m]-ah

[name_f]Kiera[/name_f] I pronounce as Key-era

I pronounce them differently. [name_f]Kiera[/name_f] is kee-[name_f]AIR[/name_f]-uh and [name_f]Keira[/name_f] is [name_m]KEER[/name_m]-uh. I think they’re both nice, but I prefer [name_f]Kiera[/name_f].

I pronounce them both “[name_m]KEER[/name_m]-uh.” I voted for [name_f]Keira[/name_f], but personally I prefer [name_f]Kira[/name_f].

toirtap201 · July 13, 2014, 3:15pm

Of your two, I would go with [name_f]Keira[/name_f].

I too prefer the Irish spelling [name_f]Ciara[/name_f].
