Mira or Keira?
Keira is a name that I always seem to come back to. I’ve liked it for years, even had a cat named Keira. However, I obviously couldn’t use both Mira & Keira, plus Keira may be too similar to my own name, Kerri, to use for a daughter. I’ve also been liking the spelling Kira lately as well.
So WDYT?
Mira Ruth
Mirabelle Ruth
Keira Ruth
Kira Ruth
For those that know me, which suits me best?
Also, WDYT of Audrey? I’ve had Audrey Tautou and Audrey Hepburn on my mind lately, and therefore the name is now on my mind as well.
Edit: Just adding a reminder that Ruth would be a 4th generation family name, and Belle is my paternal grandmother's name.

Mira...
I love Mira, it has a mystery to it that Keira doesn't. Mira Ruth is a nice name.
I like Mira Elinor or Mira Emilia. Mirabelle Ruth is nice too. I would call her Mira, definitely. ;)
Audrey is a nice name, I don't like the way it sounds, but the two women listed are beautiful and talented... and more than enough reason to name a girl Audrey if you felt so inclined. :)

I really like Keira but i always get confused with the spelling vs the pronounciation - are you pronouncing it kee-AIR-uh?
ignore...posted same message twice - sorry :)

KEER-ah.
Mira Ruth- I like Mira, but the -ra Ru- ending and beginning are a little laboursome to say.
Mirabelle Ruth- Easier to say, and also very beautiful. This would be my pick.
Keira Ruth- Prefer this sp., though Ciara is ideal. Still problems with pronouncing it. That could honestly be just me, though.
Kira Ruth- This is my least favorite.
Just a further note...I'm also inclined to prefer Mira over Keira/Kira simply because it's less popular or trendy, depending on the spelling. I don't think Keira and Kerri are too similar to be a problem, since the vowel sounds are so different.
Audrey: Not a favorite of mine, although it does have a certain charm to it. It has very pleasant associations.
