Help[Opinions] Re: Kira. (Attn. Bear!)
in reply to a message by Siri
Well, Ms Knightley certainly has put the Irish name Kiera / Ciara on the map. (*Curses to the gods who told her parents to spell it Keira!*)
Kira doesn't get enough credit as a Russian name. Cyra is lovely, but the sound is so different and the potential confusion with Kyra ("KIE-ruh") is so great that I wouldn't go there.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to name. Or something like that.
!@*% it. I don't know. Why are you asking a bear anyway?
:-)

Because you never reply to my posts
And you always have so much good advice, especially when it comes to suggesting names similar. :-D

Oh, sorry. It's not intentional. You just don't need much help. :-)
I know how you feel. I once signed up for an art class and the teacher never made any comments on my efforts. I dropped the class. Please don't drop me . . . .
To make up for lost time how about:
Cybele (a new love for me!)
Kaia
Circe (controversy raged on the pronunciation of this a while back. I've always said, "SEER-see")
Kiri (snappy and elegant at the same time)
Kateri (I've been hawking this one a lot but not much movement)
Kari (short for Karlotta)
Connemara (Irish region. Another failed product soon to be discontinued if someone doesn't bite.)
Klio / Clio (I hate Cleo because Cleopatra seems so kitsch-y.)
Casimira (Does it get more elegant and intriguing than this?)
And if any of those don't strike your fancy, just remember: there's always Lily. Lily fixes everything. I just love Lily (gritted teeth).
