Katia or Keira?

wrenr

I've been trying to post a clicky poll, but something is up and it's not letting me post. I hope that twenty posts don't show up an hour from now.

We just found out we're having a girl and we're trying to incorporate our initials. Which sounds better?

Katia Alexa or Keira Alexa

Or do you have any other K or A suggestions that are no longer than 6 letters each? (we have a long last name). TIA

I like Kiera.

Kelsey?  Kate?  Kailee?  Korin?  Those are just some that popped in.

I much prefer Keira

My suggestion would have to be Kylie! Katelyn is a little longer (though I prefer the C spelling), you could also go with Kate as a full name.

I love the name Keira, and I think it sounds really pretty with Alexa.

FemmeNat01

I love Katia Alexa.

Kate Amara

Katia Amara

Congrats on finding out you're having a girl!!!  

Both names are beautiful.... but I think I like Keira just a bit more

Both are nice- how about Kaila? (pronounced kye-lah)

How do you pronounce Katia? Kay-tee-ya? Kaysh-uh?

For pronunciation purposes, I prefer Kiera.

How about Kaya - it is my SD's name. I would spell it Kyah though to alleviate pronunciation issues. Just a suggestion.

FutureMrs.Steen

I don't care for either name.

BelleIsa

I prefer Kiera.

I really like both. But if I had to pick I'd say Katia because it's more unique. I grew up in Germany, where I fell in love with the name Katja (Katya).

I love Keira, and was my name of choice.  Unfortunately my DH has veto'ed it.

We are now thinking of Kaylin if LO is a girl.

meplusone

I definitely like Keira better.

How about:

Kenley

Kara

Kylie

Kate

Kendra

Kendall

I'd pronounce Ka ti a, in Spanish. Looking for a name that is easy to pronounce in both Spanish and English. I like Kaya/Kaia also, but it's a bit too close to my older daughter's name: Maia, lol. I just know that everyone would switch their names cause my name rhymes with my older sister's.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I realy like some of those, going to add them to my list, see if DH likes any. Agreeing is the hardest part, lol.

That's why I liked it too. Half my family is German, all have German names. But I spelled it Katia cause the other half of my family is Spanish and it's easier for them to read that way.

They're both pretty, but I'd spell them differently. Katja and Kiera.

I like them both a lot, but Kiera Alexa sounds better.  I also thought Katia was Katie at first glance, not sure if she'd get that a lot.

I like Keira- it's my siters name except she spells it Keara.

losmitty

Katia Alexa.

mybobble

Katia Alexa gets my vote.

I know a Keira and she isn't the nicest of girls so she's ruined the name for me.

amethyst1220

i like katia better. kyra may be another option for you.

Harms80

Unless you have some Eastern European heritage, I would go with Keira.  Katia is very ethnic- but I like it!

What about Kelly, Katie, Kina, Kim, Kara, or Kassie?

For A, I like Allie, Anna, Amelie, Abby, Ashlyn, and Ava.

 

cassiedianne

Neither name flows for me (too many 'A' sounds for me) but between the two I like Keira better

Mrs. GEK

I work with a girl named Kasia (Ka-sha), which I think is kind of neat.

laur2534

I think Katia is beautiful!

I love the name Katia, but I would spell it Katja as well.
