Re: Kira

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.
