It's pronounced Eye-rah isn't it?

In the US it’s fine, but here it’s paramilitary.

I only know one Ira (pronounced Ear-ra) who is female so would've wrongly assumed it was a girl. Nice name though!

How do you pronounce it? Could you change the spelling?

HoneyWheeler · 04/06/2018 19:14

I love it! Quite Jewish, reminds me of Ira Glass from This American Life, whom I adore !

It's nice, but yes - IRA.

Yeah that’s my concern. I really like the sound but not it written down.

Irish Republican Army to me.
Otherwise nice, but manages to look feminine.
