Does Kiera look misspelt to you?

[jasminesunflower]

It's our favourite spelling and was actually the most popular one before Keira Knightley came along. Now I am worried it will always get mixed up with Keira. But we like Kiera so much better. Any advice?

The other ones we like:

Holly, Chloe, Lily, Lyra, Poppy, Emily and Ariadne.

No but I like Ciara better

Of course you should go for Ariadne - a belter of a name, and Ari is a nice nn

I’m pretty sure it is just an Irish name. Where else is it used?

No.
I have a name that MN would say is misspelled. It’s fine and I like my name and think it’s nicer than the “correct” spelling.
If you like it, go for it.

On personal preference, I prefer Ciara. But if you don’t, and like Kiera then that’s fine. There’s a Kiera in my school. I’ve never thought of it as spelled wrong, it’s just a different spelling to Keira/Ciara.

I know a Ciara, her parents are Irish but living in Yorkshire she gets Key-r-ah a lot and also Clara as people misread it. It's a lovely name and I do prefer that spelling despite the potential for it being said incorrectly

It's most certainly not.

It's also a popular name in many Eastern European countries. It has different meanings in different cultures.
