Everyone should likely agree that Kyra is a very pretty name. What divides people into camps is how the name is correctly pronounced. Are you team “KEER-a” or team “KIR-a?” Or, are you one of the people who says “KY-RAH?” The beginning and the ending of the word can be said slightly different which is interesting considering the name is only four letters long. (Thank you, English.) The girls’ name can also be spelled Kira. And that can lead to multiple interpretations, too. Would you pronounce the version with the “i” differently from the version with the “y?” We’re getting philosophical now.
