We really like the name but have seen it spelt Ciara, Kiara, Kiera, Keira and Kira, which spelling do you prefer or which is most common? Thank you

Ciara. Some will get it wrong, but only the once. It looks much nicer.

Keira would be my second preference. I'm significantly less keen on the others.

I've got a cousin Ciara (we are Irish) (pronounced Kee-ra) and I know somebody named Kira (pronounce Ky-ra).

Keira

Ciara, Kiara, Kiera, Keira and Kira,

Ciara is my favourite. Kiera would be my second fave, although it looks like Kieran forgot the N. Don't like the others

I would pronounce the others
Kiara: kee - aarr - ah
Keira: kye - rah
Kira: ker - ah

Ciara is the female version of Ciarán - Irish names.
Kiera is Kieran without the n! It’s the English spelling of the names above!

Kiera or Ciara

Ciara or Keira

I have had a friend called “Kee- rah” for years, I just had to check Facebook for the spelling!

It’s Kira. She is not Japanese or Eastern European, she is Kiwi, ethnically Northern European. I like it!

Ciara or Kira would be my choices

One of my best friend's daughter is Ciara - pronounced Keera . Lovely name Never known her to have a problem with spelling etc at school etc. Most normal people will get it if even they have a problem in the first place

So I vote Ciara
