User Comments about the name Ciara
Comment left Aug 14, 2008: "It's a pretty far stretch from "See ar ra" to "Kee ar ra" and I can not see "Key ra" at all. I would hate to say anyone's name improperly, but this one really is hard! From now on, I'm going to be really careful and ask first!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 17, 2008: "I named my daughter Ciara. We pronounce it Key-r-ah (well, that's as close as I can get to how we say it at least). Nobody ever gets it right. I think it's beautiful and even though it's always mispronounced I wouldn't change my decision. I got the name from a book of Celtic baby names." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 13, 2007: "I named my daughter Ciara, hoping to marry the Irish and Italian heritage she has. No one seems able to pronounce it with the Celtic pronunciation - Keerah - and we have version of Sierra, Siarra, Keearah, etc. Depending on how you pronounce the name, you may find yourself constantly correcting people, or second guessing your decision. Also - the meaning is confusing for some - especially when the baby comes out with blonde hair and blue eyes!" (Report as inappropriate)
