I'd instinctively pronounce it sigh-ra, and assume it was a female form of Cyrus. It's quite pleasant-sounding, but I can't for the life of me think of anything to go with it.

Cyra looks like the feminine form of Cyrus to me. Then again, I've never seen it before. Intuitively, I'd pronounce it SIGH-ra but I suppose it could be a form of Ciara.

I'd like it more if I thought people would pronounce it like Cyrus (which I love, btw).

I say SEE-rah and I think it's quite nice. Feminine, but strong.

I'd pronounce it SIE-ra. I agree with Bear that it seems to me like the feminine version of Cyrus. I like it, but I personally prefer Lyra. But Cyra seems spunky and it's definitely not a name you'd hear every day. A girl named Cyra would probably never meet anyone else with her name, haha.

I would say SEE-ra. Or CIE-ra, because it reminds me of Cyan.

I believe Cyra is a feminine form of Cyrus. So I would say, "SIE-ruh," rhyming with Myra.

But I've never heard Cyra pronounced so this is more or less an educated guess.

I assume it would be "See-ra". I prefer Kyra myself.

My immediate thought was that Cyra was a tryndee respelling of Kyra. But when I looked at it again, I pronounced it SEER-ah because it reminds me of Cyril. SIGH-ra is not an intuitive pronunciation at all.

I've always liked the name Cyra. It deserves to be noticed more.

SIGH-ra.

Yes, it's very pretty. The spelling throws me though, I know three Saira's (pronounced SIGH-ra) but I guess generally Cyra is more straight forward.

SIE-ra is my guess. I think it's pretty.
