I know a Kirra in DC who pronounces it K-ear-uh.
But I’ve heard people call her Ker-uh.

I thought it was Kiera but reading this thread makes me really question myself! Never had a daughter but this was on my list and now Im kind of glad we dodged that bullet! I do love the name though.

Ciara is an Irish name. It’s said Keer-uh.
I know a girl who pronounces it Key-are-uh.
OP, I would have mangled all the names based on the pronunciations above. Is really think about how you teach your child to deal with a name that WILL be mispronounced. If you’re not up for that, look at Kira.
I’ve heard Kira pronounced Key-ruh and Kai-ruh.
How about Kelly?
I haven’t met a kid or teen named Kelly in decades. It’s due for a comeback.

I know a Kiera who pronounces it like Tie or Pie: like Kai-ruh.
People will mispronounce it regardless of how you spell it.

Kira or Kyra. Kyra Sedgwick
I knew someone named Ciara, pronounced See-R-Uh. It always seemed like the pronunciation came from an 80s perfume line or wine or something.
Kira, however you spell it, is a great name!

I know a Kyra and a Kira. If you don't want to go with Ciara, and I can understand why you wouldn't want to always be correcting people's pronunciation, I would pick Kyra first and Kira second.

Keira is the proper spelling if you're not doing Ciara or Kyra.
Kiera would be pronounced like Sierra. Key-air-uh

If you spell it Ciara it will be pronounced “See-air-a” here in the states.
