[Opinions] Chiara or Kiara? (more)

I want the kee-AH-ra pronunciation. Should I spell it Chiara or Kiara? Chiara is the authentic Italian spelling but I'm worried people will mispronounce it. Kiara is simpler but I also worry it will be pronounced to rhyme with Sierra.

So which one is best? Which one looks best to you and which spelling would make things easier?

Definitely Chiara

I don't think it will be mispronounced that much, and I really cannot stand the Kiara spelling.

Chiara is beautiful :)

I would be concerned that people will say "chee-AH-ra" for Chiara! I think Kiara just makes it easier and assume people won't pronounce it like Sierra. I would think Ciera or something would be Sierra.

Kiara

Even though I prefer the Chiara spelling and normally hate substituting Ks for Cs, I agree that most people are going to misprn Chiara.

Chiara. It's lovely, and Kiara looks way too trendy.

Chiara - it looks a lot softer and prettier than Kiara. Although I prefer Ciara, which is likely to be pronounced Sierra after the singer Ciara.

Chiara - it looks prettier to me and it makes sense to me. Kiara looks a bit ugly and sounsd to me like another spelling of Ciara(Keera).

Well, I prefer Chiara but I'm biased. Kiara looks odd to me. But maybe where you are Kiara would be easier to pronounce?
