Oddly enough, I had to vote for Kiera even though I really like Shaelyn better (it has a very nice meaning, BTW). :) I think the N's in the two names are a little too hard to say together, so I had to go with Kiera (strictly based on your last name though). If not for the N at the end of Shaelyn (say, if it were a different form, such as Shaeleigh/Shaely), then I would have definitely voted for it. HTH

Well, the KEER-uh I know spells it Kira.............but if you want kee-AIR-uh, I would go Kiera, and if kee-AR-uh it needs Kiara.

I like the sound of Kiera Annett.


As for the spelling, iif you're looking for the keer-uh sound, I prefer Kira.

I know Kiera is getting a lot of votes, but I voted for Shaelyn. I think they are both nice names, but I think the "n" at the end of Shaelyn keeps it from running into Annett. I wouldn't personally choose Kiera to go with Annett just for the fact that the "a" sound at the end of Kiera seems to blur with the "a" in Annett. I like how the "n" in Shaelyn separates it from Annett.

I also voted for Shaelyn. Like yours, my last name also begins with "A." I really don't care for the way a name sounds when the first name ends with A and the last name begins with A. JMO!

Good luck!
