My neice has this name but people have a habbit of calling her 'Safira' like the name of a car but with a 'Z'... i don't think it is a very hard to remember or pronounce. Just Sapphire but with an 'a'.

[saff - eye - ra]
Also what's your opinion of the name?
I quite like it but partner reckons it's naff.

Never heard the name before but when I read your thread title I immediately thought it was pronounced Saff - eera like the car!

I'd say Safira like the car.

Bit naff and definite Zafira connotations.
