I liked the book Gathering Blue as a child, so Kira automatically reminds me of the main character. It's a good association for me. I don't think Kira itself is trendy, though similar names are... Kylie, Katie, Kayla etc. But I think Kira sounds more refined than those names.

Right now I prefer Cyra to Kira, but that's maybe because it's new and different. Cyra would probably be mispronounced as Kyra, but that could easily be corrected.

Other similar names:
Kiri (This one has a neat meaning, and it reminds me of Siri.)
Shira
Sibyl
Silvia, Silva
Saira (I'm not sure if this is pronounced SAIR-a, sa-ir-a, or SIGH-ra.)
Sarai
Cyrilla, Cirila
Kaia
Kaila, Kelila
Keziah
Citra
Sita
Seija

Hope I helped!
