Q..how do you pronounce Kiera??

I've seen this name a lot on the board lately.... but not quite sure how to pronounce it?

Is it Kee- era?  Or Ky- era? Kara?

Confusing! Anyone care to enlighten me?

Re: Q..how do you pronounce Kiera??

  • Oops... I'm dyslexic today. The spelling is Keira... or I guess I've seen it both ways?

  • I have seen it spelled both ways and pronounce them differently. I pronounce Kiera like Key-era. And Keira like Keer-a.
  • Key-air-uh or Key-are-uh -- I've have two of them in my class...each was pronounced differently (they were the pronunciations I listed).

  • I think the correct spelling is how you originally had it. "I" before "E" except after "C" rule.  I would pronounce it "Keer-ah".

  • 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.

  • Kee-rah (to me, but other ppl obviously do the kee-eh-ra thing too), and you can spell it both ways.
  • Key-air-ah is how I would pronounce it
  • Kee-ra?

    Keer-ah

    This is how I would pronounce it.  Just like Keira Knightly.

  • Keer-ah for the Keira spelling (also spelled Ciara, (Gaelic), Kira and Kyra)

    Kiera, Kyara and Khiera are pronounced Keey-air-ah

  • The woman I know by that name says "Keer-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.
