This is like the actress, Kiera Knightly, correct? I had the name Kyra picked out if DS had been a girl, and I pronounced it this way.

My daughter's name is Keira... pronounced Kira or Keer-ah but when I see it with the I before the E I think Key-air-a which, by the way, is really pretty.

I wouldn't be sure if Kiera was pronounced Kear-ah or Kee-ehr-a. I would guess Kear-ah, but I think either pronunciation works for this name. If you prefer Kee-ehr-a, I would probably spell it with two Rs. Kierra seems more like that pronunciation.

Good luck!

I agree with estraiton--

Kiera = Key-air-uh

Keira = Keer-uh

I know a Kierra, the 2nd 'r' makes the pronounciation more obvious.

I've never heard it pronounced any other way except for kee-AIR-ah, and I think it's totally totally totally beautiful!
