To ask if you think the name Kyra is common

[Name101019]

Personally I’m on the fence

I knew a couple of toddler Kyra's about 10 years ago when K names were popular but it has been around a while and is not 'made up'.

Don’t like it

Never come across it and I hate it.

This is a tragedeigh.

@Netcurtainnelly You've never heard of the actress Kyra Sedgwick ?
And she's not the only Kyra out there.

I've not seen it used before. It's ok. Not great but not horrible. I prefer Keira.

I don’t mind Kyra, I can’t say I’ve ever met one, know a Kyla though. It’s a nicer name than Keira imo, maybe because I have a dislike of Keira Knightley 😂

Not in the US where it’s fairly common - as in popular, not chavvy

I don't like it, it sounds chavvy to me and too close to Kyla which was the name of I girl in school i did not get on with.

I interviewed a Kyra about 6 months ago, its was the first time I had heard the name. So not common. But I kept embarrassingly calling her Keira as that name is more familiar, luckily she didn't take offense and was confident enough to correct me.

She is now a hard working, likeable, intelligent and confident member of the team. Now goes on my names I like list through association.

It's a traditional greek name- I like it as long as you pronounce it kee-rah. I don't like kai-rah.

It's OK but I wouldn't name a child it as I think they'd spend their whole life with people getting the pronunciation and/ or spelling wrong.

I think its a lovely name, my ex mil's name and pronounced Keeira

Many people didn't like my name growing up but often told its a lovely name now

don't worry about it those that think names or bows in hair or hairbands (the list is very long...) are chavvy are best ignored

It’s dreadful

Bit harsh. Aiden's an old name- see Aiden of Lindisfarne. But yes, Kyra is a bit common.

It’s horrible

It’s one of those J, K and Z names. Not the worst.

@DoaWheelieWhat’s wrong with name Aidan?! Why are assuming he would be a sibling?

The only Kyra I know is Swiss and definitely not ‘common’. She is lovely though. And extraordinarily wealthy.

I'm Sweden, locally, we have a couple of Tyras - pronounced tear-ra.

I know a couple but I don't live in the UK

It's more of that snobby attitude.
I am really starting to hate these threads.

In the US it's definitely a trailer trash name. Never come across it in the UK really.

@Needmorelegothe racism normally keeps me away.

I know a Kyra, whose parents are both Indian. I think it’s a lovely name.
