I have a student in my class this year named Kiera and she pronounces is Kear-ah. ?However, my cousin and his wife had a baby in August and named her Kiera and pronounce it Key-air-ah.
Keer-ah for the Keira spelling (also spelled Ciara, (Gaelic), Kira and Kyra)
Kiera, Kyara and Khiera are pronounced Keey-air-ah
I agree with. Keira is the traditional Irish/Gaelic spelling and it would be prononce Keer-a. I've seen it spelled Kiera before, but most people with that spelling pronounce it as Key-air-a
I thought I invented this name in high school spanish class (I thought Quiero would be pretty with an A on the end and starting with a K). I was quite disappointed my first day of college to meet a girl names Kiera. She pronounced it Kara, but if we name DC it, it will be Key-air-uh.
