I love Kira, though I prefer Kyra.
1. I pronouced it KEE-ra
2. I pronouce them all KEE-ra, except Kiera, which is kee-AIR-uh
3. I prefer Kyra, then Kira, then Ciara, I hate Keira/Kiera
4. Yes, I think it's too common
5. I know One Kyra, and four Keira/Kieras, one of the Keiras was the biggest, most annoying brat in the whole world that I used to watch in a day care I worked at. She was so awful, it made me consider never having children! (I'm a little jaded against Keira you could say, but to me I just picture this red-neck trashy momma naming her little sparkleigh pryncess something yoo-neek)
6. I love Kira, but Kyra just is cooler to me.
7. Oh definately Kaia Estella, the combo is magical and seems like a fairy princess, Kaia does. Kira is no where in the league of Kaia. It's overdone and nowhere near as pretty.

1. KEER-a
2. Kiera- KEER-a or kee-ER-a, Keira- KEER-a, Ciara- I think it's KI-a-ra, but my first instinct is see-AR-a Kirra- Between KEER-a and KUR-a Kyra- KEER-a.
3. I like Kiera, Kira, and Kyra. (all prn. KEER-a)
4. Not too common
5. None
6. Yes, I would probably use it.
7. Kaia Estella flows better. Kira Estella is choppy, or something. Kira neesa a "flowy" middle name, like Kira Liane or something.
2. Kiera- KEER-a or kee-ER-a, Keira- KEER-a, Ciara- I think it's KI-a-ra, but my first instinct is see-AR-a Kirra- Between KEER-a and KUR-a Kyra- KEER-a.

1. Kee-ruh.
2. Kee-ruh, K-ay-ruh, Kee-ruh, K-ay-ruh.

6. Yes, yes, yes.
7. Kira Estella, but I don't much like either of them because they end in the same sound.

1. "KEER-uh" (the same as you, just with an American tendency to end syllables with a consonants rather than a vowel.)
2.
Kiera / Ciara = "KEER-uh"
Kirra = ?
Kyra = "KIE-ruh" (an exception to my tendency from above)
3. It depends. Kira is a Russian girl's name, whereas Ciara / Kiera is an Irish one. It depends what mood I'm after. They are both nice ways to spell "KEER-uh."
Kyra, a variant of Cyrus, I wouldn't put in the same category as "KEER-uh" names.
4. Kiera (and unfortunately the misspelled Keira) are becoming very popular.
5. My (Irish) cousin has a dd "KEER-uh," but I'm not sure which spelling she uses. I knew Kira in high school, but that was her Russian name in language class, not her real name.
6. Yes, I like Kira very much.
7. Kira Estella flows better than Kaia Estella. But both are nice.

2. Keira as Keer-ah. Kiera as Keer-ah. Ciara as Keer-ah. Kirra as Ker-rah. Kyra as Kai-rah.
3. Prefer sp Kira, although I like Kiera too. Prefer prn Keer-ah because that's the only one I've ever heard.
