Do you like this girls' name?
Kirilain.
I made it up, but I think it's quite pretty. A variant could be Kirilaine. What do you think? Please refrain from rude and harsh comments. :-)

I like this. I am unsure whether this is intentional - or just my own thought, but I see a modern combination of the classic Grecian title "Kýrie eléison", which found new life in Rome...

I think i like it with the 'e' on the end. It looks less like Killian that. I must admit that I looked over the middle 'i' at first and thought it was kur-LANE. How do you pronounce it? I would think it's KIH-rih-lane or KIHREE-lane, but i could also see keer-eeLAYNE. Kirilayne, Kyrilane, Kyrilain could be nice spellings, too, depending on what pronunciation you might want to go for or what gender.nice mashup!

For a real person? I don't mind the sound, but it looks pretty ridiculous.
For a sci-fi character? Perfect.

I like the version with the e on the end. Kirilain looks ... sort of masculine, and too much like Kirlian, and falls at the end giving it a down feeling like the word slain, plain, flain, pain. Kirilaine is very pretty though. Maybe pronunciation issues (people might say cur-elaine like Kirby). Kirrily + Elaine? http://www.behindthename.com/name/kirrily/submitted

It sounds like a Francofied Russian feminine form of Cyril. Kyriline looks better, but Kyrileine (kih-rih-LENN) sounds very pretty.

I think it looks a little overly complicated, to be honest. I think it's kind of "I" heavy. Most people would probably just assume it's a kr8if variant or Caroline, at least that's what I might assume at first glance. It also makes me think of Kirlia, a Pokémon. Overall, I don't really care for it and I wouldn't use it.Also, this has nothing to do with anything, but looking at this made me randomly think of "Cyrilanne" for some reason.

Smushed together, no, I don't like it. The sound isn't bad, however. WDYT of Kira Lane or Kira Elaine? Kira is really cute.

Thanks for the reply and the suggestions! :-) And I do like Kira Elaine, but I prefer Kiri over Kira... Kiri Elaine, maybe.

It has a pretty sound and a neat sort of fantasy look. I think it would be a great name for a character in a fantasy story.

Not particularly fond of smushes. Kira I like a lot, and I have a new little niece named Kira. Kira Lane is kind of cute, and looks more attractive written down than what you're asking about.
