[quote=Anonymous]I have a Ciara, pronounced Keira. We liked the spelling and the name, there's more than one in my Irish American family (here for several generations), and I am thrilled to hear it kept away people who wouldn't invite someone to a mommy together. We knew ahead of time and accepted that people will mispronounce it and knew we didn't really care. I correct once, and if they go on with "see-air-uh", unless it's someone we'll see repeatedly, I don't bother correcting again. Most people get it once and are fine - many Americans have adapted to Irish spellings given their recent popularity. We taught our daughter that if people call out "see-air-uh" they mean her, and it's up to her whether she wants to let them say it that way or tell them how to say it. If she becomes a teenager and wants to be "see-air-uh", that's also cool. So do a gut check on whether you care about correcting people or if your kid goes by something else. If you do, go with Kieran. Also great. [/quote]
