Pronunciation of the name Piers?

Mrs.Christie

Is it pronounced like "pearce/ pierce" or do you pronounce the -s at the end? I have a coworker whose son is named Piers and from the way she pronounced it I thought it was spelled Pierce until I saw it written. And if it is pronounced "pierce" then what spelling do you like best, Pearce, Pierce, or Piers? Thanks.

The first time I saw it written I thought it was pronounced like two or more docks.  But I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be pronounced Pierce.  I prefer the spelling Pierce.

Piers I say with a Z sound at the end like peers (peerz)... or Pier one.

If you want an s sound at the end, I'd go with Pierce, which I think is a nice name. Very blueblood/preppy, but still cute especially if that is what you're going for.?

Piers Anthony is a famous fantasy author, he's a two or more docks pronunciation.

In England (where this name is more common), Piers is pronounced like two "piers".

(I know two british guys named Piers).

Piers is pronounced PEERZ. Pierce is a variant of it. Pearce is a variant of Pierce. I like Piers or Pierce.

I would definitely pronounce it "Pierce", with the same spelling.
