Kira combos
I talked to my fiance again last night, and it seems like he likes Kira more than I thought. He told me that he liked it before after I mentioned that I loved Kira, but I wasn't sure if he'd actually want to use it for a daughter. I told him that we didn't necessarily have to use Kira, but he said that he really liked Kira. I'm pretty much set on Kira for a girl, but I'm still open to other possibilities. Right now, I'm trying to come up with Kira combos mostly just for the heck of it.Some ideas:
Kira Marielle Jade
Kira Marielle - A second middle name isn't absolutely necessary, particularly if two middle names turns it into a major mouthful.
Kira Jade Ellia - Ellia is my grandmother's name. My fiance said that he likes Kira a lot more than Jade. I think he could probably deal with Jade, but I think I'd rather use something that he likes more if he doesn't warm up to it some more.
Kira Jade Alexandra
Kira Jade Emily - My fiance really likes Emily. Emily and Emma are both too popular for me to want to use as first names, but I like them as middle names.
Kira Emily Jade
Kira Jade Helena
Kira Gabrielle
Kira Gabrielle Jade
Kira Delphine
Kira Simone
Kira Marielle Emma - My fiance really likes Emma, so I'm trying to see if I can incorporate it somehow.
Kira Marielle Emmeline - I'm thinking that this is just too much of a mouthful, though.
Kira Marielle Ivy
Kira Ivy Marielle
Kira Marielle Josette
Kira Josette Marielle
Kira Marielle Josephine
Kira Marielle Josie - Josie and Josephine would honor two family members (one on my side of the family and the other on my fiance's.) I'm also thinking that Josette could honor my mom whose middle name is Yvette. My grandmother, my mom's mom, is named Josie, so it honors them both plus my fiance's aunt Josie.More ideas would be greatly appreciated.For a boy, we like Logan. I really like Logan Jonathan + my maiden name as the second middle name. Jonathan would be after his dad, and it also happens to be a name that I have liked for a while. :)I don't expect we'll have more than two children (we're hoping for a boy and a girl), but if you have any ideas for siblings for Kira and Logan, I'd love to hear them, especially since having two children of the same gender is always a possibility, and I'm not exactly sure what I'd use if we had two girls or two boys. I mentioned that I also liked Ivy for a girl, but he just seemed like he thought it was okay but not that appealing, so I doubt we'll use it unless it happens to grow on him more.I really like Theron for a second son. I haven't brought it up with my fiance yet, so I'm not sure if he likes it, though.Thanks!

I really like:
Kira Jade Ellia
Kira Jade Alexandra
Kira Jade Helena
Kira Jade Gabrielle
Kira Delphine
Kira Marielle Ivy
Kira Ivy MarielleOther ideas:
Kira Jade Emilia (sort of like Emily but not as popular)
Kira Delphine Ivy
Kira Delphine Emma
Kira Jade Ivy
Kira Ivy Emilia
Kira Jade Rosetta
I'm not a fan of Logan, but it could grow on me with the right person. Logan Jonathan Maidenname seems like it would work, although I think I'd prefer Jonathan Logan Maidenname just because I like Jonathan better than Logan.Some possible sisters for Kira and Logan:
Rory, Isla, Cassie, Willow, Juniper, Jane, Anna, Brenna, Henna, Hanna, Hannah, Hana, Rona, Bethan, Sera, Sierra, Shanna, Shannon, Shana, Shae, Summer, River, Rayne, Raina, Rain, Rayne, Rayna, Alana, Cecily, Ellia, Elliana, Fern, Gabriela, Iliana, Ione, Iona, Iana, Jessie, Mara, Mari, Melody, Harmony, Niamh, Neve, Neva, Nella, Olwen, Opal, Olive, Olivia, Ona, Oriana, Annika, Anneka, Anika, Nica, Nicola, Nicaela, Wynne, Winn, Win
(the shorter names on this list could be nicknames for something longer.)I really like Theron. It would make a good middle name if nothing else. (Honestly I'd expect Theron to be older than Kira, so if Kira is your first kid and then you have two sons named Logan and Theron, I'd probably guess their ages backwards based only on their names.) Theron Peregrine would be a cool combo IMO.

Why dont you try Kira Joselle Yvette. Josie would be honoring, Ellia would be honoring and Yvette would be honoring.

Out of your combos, I likeKira Marielle
Kira Gabrielle
Kira DelphineI'm not a huge fan of any of your 3 name combos. I feel like it's pretty hard to do a decent combo with 2 middle names.What about....Kira Melanie
Kira Seraphine
Kira Leonie
Kira Cecily
Kira Margot
Kira Winifred
Kira Leonor
Kira Ophelie
Kira SylvieFor some reason, I'm loving French middle names with Kira.Kira and Logan is nice. Jonathan is a lovely name as well. So is Theron.

I love the simple prettiness of Kira. My vote for favorite combo goes to Kira Simone, with Kira Emily Jade in second place.

Okay wait, how do you pronounce Kira? I assumed it was KY-ra, because Keira is KEE-ra, but BtN says Kira is also pronounced KEE-ra. Is that how you're saying it? If so, I love the sound and really dislike the spelling. Kira Jade Emily is okay.
Kira Jade Ellia is better.
Kira Delphine is pretty awesome!
Kira Josette is very sweet - although I feel like honouring 3 people with one name kind of makes the honouring less valuable.Any story behind Marielle? You seem to like it a lot.How about
Kira Josephine
Kira Emmeline
Kira Josette Emma
Kira Josephine Emma
Kira Narelle
Kira Noelle
Kira JoelleKira and Logan are very nice. How about
Kira and Amelia
Kira and Megan
Kira and Aspen
Kira and Josie
Kira and Anika
Kira and Elise
Kira and Janae
Logan and Asher
Logan and Brandon

In my mind, Kira is a Russian name not related to Keira / Ciara. That makes me like the spelling, because Keira wouldn't make sense for the Russian name.

Thank you!I'm pronouncing it KEE-ra.I fell in love with the name Marielle some years back. I mostly just liked the sound of it, but I used to babysit a little girl named Arielle here and there, and I basically fell in love with Arielle because of her. I figured that people would be less likely to think that that I used Marielle because of Ariel from The Little Mermaid than if I went with Marielle. Also, Marielle seems to sound better with some of my favorite names than Arielle does. Interestingly enough, Marielle could honor my fiance's mother, so all the more reason to use it. I really like:
Kira Josephine
Kira Emmeline
Kira Josephine Emma
Kira Noelle
Kira JoelleKira and Elise - Elise has been on my mind lately. I hadn't thought of Kira and Elise for sisters yet. Thanks for the suggestion. They sound great together.
Logan and Asher
Logan and Brandon
Logan and Declan
Logan and Elliott
Logan and Stellan
