I think the most traditional spellings look cleaner and classier.
I don't think
Jade looks plain, but I do think
Jayde looks misspelt and tacky. Sometimes there are many legitimate spellings of a name (
Katherine,
Catherine and
Kathryn). But
Jade just has one correct spelling IMO.
I would definitely pronounce
Kyra as Kye-ra, rhyming with
Myra. I might even pronounce
Kira as Kye-ra. IMO,
Kiera is the best spelling.
Keira is No. 2 and
Kira is No. 3.
