Kira Sadie?

[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight]

Surname is long and begins with an 'S' - I did want 'Kira Isobel Sadie' but worried it would be too much, liked the initials though she's due on the 11th so really need definitive 'it's great' or 'it's crap' lol thanks much

[Onesleeptillwembley]

It's not great. Not at all.

[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight]

Ah ok thanks. Which one, or both?

[Onesleeptillwembley]

Sadie is marginally better, and it's not a made up spelling.

[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight]

Hmm I really like Kira and its not a made up spelling, just a variation of Keira ect - I'll have to. Put more thought into it I think. Want unusual, sweet, fairly short. Took me for-ev-er to decide on that, too 'sigh'

[KatoPotato]

Kemo Sabe. Sorry.

[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight]

It's fine. Glad I asked for opinions before settling on it. A fresh perspective and all that

[Onesleeptillwembley]

Well you're taking it well, OP. I'm fire when she's born and you see her you'll know.

[noodlebum]

I don't see anything wrong with the name Kira. It's pretty! And there's been people with this name since at least the early 1900's. I believe it's a Russian variant of the name?

[Bowlersarm]

I'm a fan of Sadie.

A bit unsure if Kira. I wouldn't know how to pronounce it, so she would have a problem with that all her life I would imagine.

[squoosh]

Kira is a legitimate name OP, Keira on the other hand isn't!

Kira is Russian in origin whereas Keira is just a mangling of the Irish Ciara.

Kira Sadie is lovely, if it's the name you love go for it.

[pygmy]

I like Kira. Not so keen on Sadie

[Diddle82]

Im the oppositre pygmy, like sadie not kira

[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight]

Thanks for the encouraging messages.. Love Sadie but it wouldn't go as a first name with the surname and also love Kira though my first name choice was Isobel which everyone liked, but. I thought wasn't unusual enough.Maybe Kira Isobel then

[Ehhn]

Kira Isobel great. Sadie a bit meh.

[WhisperingShadow]

I like Kira Isobel Sadie. I think Kira is pretty. Reminds me of Lara.

[pygmy]

Kira Isobel is great

[BackforGood]

I think she'd spend all of her life correcting people, having her name spelt wrong, and having to spell it out for people, which isn't something I'd want to put on my dc.

[JumpingJackSprat]

i like kira. dont listen to spelling snobs.

[ZolaBuddleia]

I love Sadie! Kira not so much, and it looks made up, even if it isn't.

I also don't like Kira Isobel because of the two vowels running into each other.

[pygmy]

I disagree with PPs and think that Kira is so obviously a legitimate name. Keira looks less authentic.

[BackforGood]

...but Keira the way it's "usually" spelt, here in England (can't speak for other areas), in this Century. Therefore, to spell it a different way - even if it were a 400 yr old spelling, makes it the odd one out and will not be what people 'assume'.

[squoosh]

I think the pronunciation of Kira is pretty obvious.

'Keira' hurts my eyes.

[PixelAteMyFace]

Not a fan of Sadie, too close to sadist !

[Melfish]

I knew a girl at school called Kira, as she was nice I think the name has good connotations. I always thought that or Kiera was the usual spelling to get it pronounced Ki-ra. Keira just makes me think Kair-a. Not so keen on Sadie though.

[krazipan]

My name is Keira and I have managed to get on in life!
