How is Kira pronounced? And also what is the difference between Keara, Keira, Kiera and Ciara? Are they all the same? Is Kira the same thing as Ciara? PLEASE HELP! THANKS!

Kiera, Keira, and Ciara are quite different from Kira, though they can all be pronounced KEER-a. Keara may be either a variant of Ciara or of Ceara, the latter of which may possibly also derive from a Gaelic word meaning "fire""/"fiery" iirc.

Kira = KEY-rah. Same as all the others, generally.

A is for Amy who fell down the stairs, B is for Basil assaulted by bears, C is for Clara who wasted away, D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh... !!!!!!!!!! - Tobias, Jesse, Wyatt, Shane, Preston, Maverick, Rebel, Gibson, Shiloh, and Timber

Please don't type in all caps

It's the online equivalent of shouting, and is therefore considered rather rude.

Thanks. :-)

I've always pronounced it "Keer-rah".

That's how everyone I've ever known says it. As far as I know, Keara, Keira, Kiera, Ciara, Kira, and Kera are all the same. It's just personal preference on the spelling. =D
