I must say I like Tira on its own a lot more than Tira-Lee. It seems much more sophisticated. I feel like I would like Tira more if it were a nickname for a longer name, but I realise that's not always practical with another namer in the picture.I feel like this combo has too many Rs in it for me. It all gets jumbled in my mouth. I also think It looks better as Tira Marie Rose without the hyphen, but the hyphen's not terrible. Have either of you considered Rosemarie? I'm glad you found a name that both you and your husband like. It has an understated beauty to it.

Is Tira pronounced the same as Tyra? Also, just wondering why you decided to hyphen the Marie-Rose rather than just having it as two separate names?Overall do like it though, it's sweet.

Did either one of you invent Tira? I've never heard it before.

I know oneShe spells it Tirra but it's the same pronunciation I think (TEER-a). I don't know where her parents got it from but she's 20 years old so it's been floating around for at least that long.

Tira is a fictional character for a video game. That, or she has ties to the place in Israel.Edit: The OP seems to have added it to the database with the note 'means land' (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/tira) but I can't verify that elsewhere online except for other user-submitted baby name sites, on which meanings differ widely.

Well, terra means earth/land in Latin. Probably spun off of that if anything.

Do you pronounce Tira and Terra anything alike? I don't.
