I know this isn't the baby names board but...

I really don't care.

I think I love this name

Kyria

I'd pronounce it Keer-ee-uh.

Thoughts?

robinsokj

Isn't that the name of a song?  I think its pretty

SoCaliAli

It's not a name I would use, but I don't think it's a bad name.

RachelG83

idk if it's from a song.  It's from the Bible and the original Greek means "Honored woman". (according to what I've seen online - sulfa will probably be around shortly to correct me LOL)

Kyria Elaison is a Catholic song often sung at Mass.

I love the name

You are right.

It's from 2 John.

NMS but it is pretty.  I wouldn't think to pronounce it like that either.  I'd assume it was Key-air-ah

Emie28

It reminds me too much of how some people pronounce Korea.

charlies-angel

I don't like it

Sweet.

I haven't even mentioned it to DH so it could be vetoed but I'm going to give it a shot

I would never have known it was Biblical.  I was thinking of Kyrie (sp?) pronounced keir-E-yay or something like that.  I think Toto, the singers of Africa sing it

Yes there are a lot of songs with Kyrie in them like preppy said.  I had totally forgotten about that until she mentioned it.

Apparently it was a #1 hit song in 1980 too.

It's ok. Had it not been pointed out how to pronounce it, I would have bombed it, but now that I know, it's kind of pretty.

WaitingOnTwoPinkLines

I wouldn't have know how to say it, either. I am a bigger fan of Keira (keer-ah) but that could be because I've never heard Keria before.

I like that it has meaning, though. 

teach1008

NMS - wouldn't know how to pronounce it.

BallSox

I have a Kira (keyr-rah) in my life and she's pretty awesome.  Nft.

caffinated_tulip

NMS, but cute. I would probably pronounce it "Keer-ee-ay" if I just saw it written.
